It seems to me that there are benefits both ways. Sometimes a limited number of resources must be shared by several classes. If the first class finds and checks out most of the books, what does that leave later classes? A cartful of resources can really help later classes. On the other hand, there is benefit in letting the students find their own materials. My solution is to NOT let classes check materials out, nor do I generally pull resources for them. Rather, I will pull one or two books that are not obvious, and use them as examples. When the first class comes in, the sample books are still on the shelf. I tell them to put any books they find helpful (pull the samples) on THIS table (put samples there). I explain that two or three other classes are coming in, and they will all want the same books. If everyone puts the books they find helpful on the table I will check the entire lot out to the teacher at the end of the day. I would think that only the first class would actually have to look for sources, but it seems that even the last class wants to contribute something to the pile! Anyway, it usually takes two or three students to carry the books for the teacher. -- David Lininger, kb0zke, Hickory County R-1 Schools Urbana, MO 65767 -------------------------------------------------------------------- All LM_NET postings are protected by copyright law.
