Goofus and Gallant

To put a little spin on reviewing library procedures, I introduced the 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders to Goofus and Gallant.  The kids got with a partner and I gave each couple 2 library situations (how to check out a book, how to ask for help, etc) and they had to act the situation out, first as Goofus (he always does it wrong) and then as Gallant (he always does it right).  Every kid I've ever met loves haming up the wrong way to do something.  It was a hit and now I can tell the kids to stop being a Goofus.
