 * **Objective:** Students will be able to understand how fiction and non fiction books are shelved ||
 * **Procedure:** Review with students the broad categories of the Dewey Decimal system and how Fiction books are shelved. Choose 1-2 judges. Tell students that each table will receive a book that needs to be shelved. They are to decide one person to shelve each book at the table. The whole table needs to help direct the person to the shelf location. Once the student has located where the book should be on the shelf they raise their hands. The judges decide which student raised their hand first. The teacher checks to make sure the location is correct. The first table with the correct location wins a point. Give the tables another book and repeat. ||
 * How will I know when I meet the objective/measurement of objective? When students can correctly identify where a book is shelved. ||
 * Variations: Students can find the right shelf the book goes on. This makes the game adaptable for more ages. ||
