Instead of telling, it's best to explore the answers for yourself. That is how this lesson is designed. Students are introduced to the organization of the nonfiction section with a picture of Melville Dewey, a poster and some books. Then the majority of the lesson students explore and gather clues to how the section is organized. Find the handouts and more specifics for this lesson by following this link,
