Re: Bibliography lesson

[sbrisco <sbrisco021@CHARTER.NET>]

I went to a Big6 workshop last week and one of the elementary librarians had
a creative idea to show the concept of writing a bibliography of sources
used for a project at the third grade level or lower.  She called it a,
"Thank You Page"--- this is the page where you "thank" all of the people who
wrote the books that you used as sources in your report.  She said that she
would ask them to write the names of the authors, the work title and then,
if necessary, the copyright date.   This page would be at the end of their
report to "thank" their authors for sharing.

She also stated that as the students "advanced" to higher grades (4-5) she
then began asking that they write the place where the book was published
(city and publisher), along with the other bibliographic information.

We thought this was a great idea to introduce the reasons why we "cite
information"--- to "Thank" the individuals who wrote the books that we used!

Thought I'd share!

> Hello everyone,

> Was wondering if anyone had any 'creative' ideas on how to teach third
graders how to write a bibliography.  It is part of a unit in which they
research a particular state and use various resources.  It is a difficult
concept for them to understand.  Looking for ways to make it simpler and
easier for them to grasp.  Thanks in advance.
