SCRIPT-
��������� This year, one of our standing
homework assignments is thirty minutes of reading a night. In order to do this,
you need access to BOOKS! We have been (or will be) going
to the library, so you know (or will know)
how to check out books there. Another source is our classroom library, from
which you may make selections. I want to acquaint you with our classroom
library rules and how to check-out books. You already know where our classroom
library is set up (indicate or walk to bookshelves).�
������������������������������ (Turn on
overhead with Book-Borrowing rules sheet)
������ ��Since I want to be sure everyone has a chance
to read as many books as possible, one of our rules is that you may check out
only one book at a time.
�������� Log the book out in the folder (Hold
up folder) being sure to fill in the spaces appropriately. I'll show you this
sheet in a minute.
�������� When your return a book, simply go to
this folder (Hold up folder again) log in the date returned and file the book
back on the shelf by the author's LAST NAME.
�������� You are then ready to check out another
book.
�������� If you lose or damage a book, it must
be replaced at your expense.
�������� Books can be kept a maximum of three
weeks.
�������� Each Friday, I will have a class
member review the folder and update books not
�������� returned or
accounted for.
�������� If a book is So Great you can't
wait to share it, post a response on the
�������� Recommend List by the bookshelves.
�����������������������������������������
(Change overhead sheet to logout sheet)
������� This is how the log-out folder will
look.
������� First, write your name and class
section, here.
������� Next, list the book title and author in
this column.
������� Here, you'll write in the check-out
date.
������� This section is for the date returned.
After you return
a book, what two things will you do next?
���� File it back by author's last name and
check-out another book.
�������������������������������
GO OVER TO
BOOKCASE- Here is where
the check-out rules will be posted. This is where the Check-Out Log Folder will
be kept. Here is the Recommend List for you to comment on any great book you
have read. Be sure to put your name, too, so others will know who recommended
the book.�
Any
questions???? Great,
now we are ready to Check-It-Out!
