ABC order in Picture Book + Fiction Sections
Students will practice deciding where a book's home is.
Students will be asked how the picture book section is arranged. Students will hear a read aloud ABC story (Animalia). We hand out our library cards and students will go to the section that they would find a book with the first letter of their last name. Continuation: Students will hear another ABC read aloud. Teacher will show students a picture book. We will identify the author. Teacher will stick a small sign on the book with tape and with the author's name. Students will be asked to find where more of that author's books can be found. Use at least 5 books with author cards. |

Fiction v. Non-Fiction
Info Lit Standard/s
3.4 Identifies the characteristics of fiction and non-fiction 2.21 Knows nonfiction section has books on specific subjects 2.25 Locates reference/biography sections and states general contents. Library Objective/s To learn some of the similarities and differences between fiction, nonfiction and biography books. State Standard/s 1.17 Classify grade-appropriate categories of words (e.g., concrete collections of animals, foods, toys). Time 30 minutes Lesson Title Alike and Different Introduction Begin by defining fiction as a story that is made-up by the author or imagined. Show students the sign or transparency with the definition of fiction. Explain that we will be reading parts of three books about basketball today but only one of them will be fiction. Vocabulary fiction, nonfiction Activity • Read an excerpt from the fiction book. Talk about how the story is made-up. • Give the definition of nonfiction. Show students the sign or transparency with the definition of nonfiction. Explain that nonfiction books have information to help you learn something. All books that are not fiction are nonfiction. If you want to learn about a real person or learn how to do something, look for nonfiction books. • Look at the word nonfiction with the students. Ask them if they can find any words inside it. If they don’t see it, point out the words “no” and “fiction.” Reinforce “no fiction” and underline or circle the “no.” • Read an excerpts and show pictures from the nonfiction book. Discuss that the information is real. • Compare the two books. Talk about how: o Both books are on the same topic. o The characters in the fiction book are make believe even though the story could have happened. o The nonfiction book contains facts and real information about basketball. Closure Ask for two volunteers. Have them hold the index card spine label in their hand and turn sideways like they are a book on the shelf. Explain that every library book has a spine label. Tell students that picture book fiction is in the Easy section of the library and has an E on the top of the spine label. Tell students that most nonfiction has numbers on the spine label and goes in the Dewey section of the library. Ask students to identify which spine label is for the fiction book and which is for the nonfiction book. Show them that the letters on the bottom of the spine label are the first three letters of the author’s last name. |
