Discuss
the makeup and function of
annotated
bibliographies.
Invite
students to assist while you construct a typical entry on the
chalkboard, using a classroom textbook as the source.
List
the order in which the information
appears
and have children use the list as a reference to write entries
for
their current reading books.
Formulate
plans for devising an
annotated
bibliography of school library books that your students have read.
Provide
a folder for first-draft
submissions and
proofread the material at intervals.
Return
entries to the children for rewriting on strips of lined paper.
When
enough entries have been
accumulated for a
booklet, have a volunteer committee arrange them in alphabetical order.
Another group can paste the entries on oaktag sheets.
Others
can design the cover and plan the pages for credits, copyright data,
the index.
Laminate
the cover and pages if possible.
Plan
a little ceremony for the "big
day" when the
class presents the book to others.
