Readerpants Lesson
Many books could easily fall into more than one genre category. We
turned this into a lesson for all our students by putting a sticky-note on
those books, listing 2-3 genres we thought would fit best. We kept these
books on a table with some pencils, and students in the library could read
the book blurb and vote (on the sticky note) on which genre they thought it
should be. Since the whole point of this project was to help students find
books where they were looking for them, the genre receiving the most
votes for that book was the one that stuck. This was also our sneaky little
way to get students school-wide reading lots of different book blurbs

  1. 1. Sacred: fiction=A-Z, always done it this way; 2too hard;
  2. 1. Bookstore model; 2. Public library model; 3. student need; 4. increase circulation.
  3. Mean old: reran spine labels, didn’t use genre labels; · Only chose a few obvious genres to start with: Graphic Novels, Fantasy, Horror, Historical, SciFi, Supernatural (ghost, zombie) Readerpants:·Many books could easily fall into more than one genre category.

  4. Depending on your level, you may use different terms: thriller, horror, scary—whatever your students ask for; you can make your own labels
  5. Demco is my favorite
  6. Students can pull from a list. Label, change call number in system, and either set aside or reshelve until you are done. I did full genre and put sections in alpha order: Adventure, Classic, Fantasy, etc.
