Dewey Fiction

["Thompson, Renee" <RThompson@BROWNEACADEMY.ORG>]

I have covered the Dewey Decimal system with my students, and I tell
them that M. Dewey created this system for ALL books. Then I ask them to
look at the DD and see where fiction would go if it were placed with the
non-fiction titles. They guess the 800s. I explain that it is far easier
pulling the fiction out and placing it in a separate area.
