Dewey Decimal Signage - Vertical

45 STUDENT-FRIENDLY DEWEY DECIMAL SIGNSAlthough I spent MANY lessons teaching the Dewey Decimal system to my 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders, our nonfiction section of the library remained greatly under utilized. When students were asked why they never browsed in this section, they shared that they didn’t know where to find the books they were looking for. (Sigh!)I began shopping for BIG, colorful, student-friendly Dewey signs to help guide students to the sections they were interested in, but I did n

The Writing Process Prezi, NO PREP!

Created by

Lesleigh's Literacy Lair

In all my years teaching English, it has become more and more apparent that students need to be told that writing is a process and each stage is equally important. Otherwise, students will simply draft a piece of text, read it over once if we’re lucky, and call it good. I have created for you a lesson that explicitly teaches students each stage of the writing process...and, because some find the topic exceedingly dull, I’ve given the lesson a horror genre slant to keep students highly engaged.
