Last post for semester - 3321 Lit for Public Schools
I ended up really liking this assignment. At first, I was not all into to the whole blogging thing, but now that I have it figured it out, it is neat. I liked being able to view the thoughts of fellow students and being able to comment. This was a good experience because it allowed me to revisit authors that I have not thought about in years and find new ones.

Chapter 7 - Picture Books
Sorry, as I was thumbing through my posts, I realized I overlooked this chapter.
If you think about it, as adults, we do that often to this genre. We have gotten so used to chapter reading, we forget how this section contributes to the thoughts and furthers the imaginations of our children. For our visual learners, it will allow a concrete explanation.

This is a great website because it lists its picture books by theme. In the event that you are doing a lesson on water, you can use Do Fish Drink? First Questions and Answers about Water by Time Life for Children as a resource.

Presentations for Dec 1
The presentations were so good yesterday. I loved Shel Silverstein as a child and the depiction given in class today reminded me of all the reasons why. The tree to me is very much like a parent. No matter what, we love our children unconditionally. Another book that reminds me of the unconditional love of a parent is I'll Love You Forever.
The next presentation was over fairy tales. One of the group members showed me the Snow White story that told both sides of the story. I love this idea. I want to read this to my own children and nieces because I think it is a good way to introduce the concept their are two sides to every story and for us to teach our children not to judge.
The last presentation was Lemony Snicket's, A Series of Unfortunate Events. I loved the way this group first presented the story and then provided us as a class to interact in their lesson. The whole presentation made me want to read the book once I have the time.
