Learning to categorize and sort objects and ideas is a key component to helping primary age students find and use materials in their library. When teaching students in grades 2-3 the Dewey Decimal System, consider this lesson which asks them to categorize recognizable objects into groups based on shared traits. Using concrete objects will help you bridge learning so that the more abstract concept of grouping books by similar topics is attainable for these learners. This lesson uses content from INFOhio's Educator Tools and ISearch.

Asking good questions is where research projects begin. If you are creating a term paper, video, or presentation, it all begins with the question. We seek answers every day. Which college is best for me? Which car is most economical to drive? How can I find a job?To become an effective, creative researcher and problem solver, the first step is to begin with good, solid questions that focus your research topic or solution to a problem. By the end of the module your students will be able to say:I can ask appropriate questions that help me focus a research topic or solve a problem. I can use questions to narrow or broaden my topic.I can ask questions that open several avenues for me to explore.

"The reward of a thing well done is having done it." —Ralph Waldo EmersonPart of education is applying what we have learned to how we work and how we interact with others. Even when we realize we could have done something better, we have learned a valuable lesson and can transfer this to future projects or interactions. The work you do today can impact your future and the career you choose.No project is complete until you determine it was a job well done. When you play basketball, you know if you made the basket or you missed. When you play an instrument, you listen to see if you are in tune. How do you figure out if your project makes the grade? That's what this module is all about.By the end of this module, your students will be able to say:I can use reflection to evaluate the process, the completed project, and the presentation.I can apply what I have learned about the research process successfully in college and/or my career.
