    Looking forward to trying this out! Many thanks, your enthusiasm is awesome. Will let you know how it goes with my 11/12 year olds! Will also use as an introduction to plagiarism too – explaining how you came up with the idea and the cards, but I will be using it courtesy of you – and since they are quite keen on ‘not copying’ hopefully they will understand. As for the Dewey bit, it’s always a struggle – even though their junior school library was arranged in ‘topics’ they find it hard to understand the categorisation of ‘topics’ in Dewey. Will report back!
