Synopsis
Picture books have a unique and distinctive quality; they are both a literary joy and a visual delight. The poignant themes and moral messages found in so many picture books provide a powerful means by which children can examine meaning, truth, and life. The complexity and sophistication found in books dealing with issues such as family matters, social causes, moral and ethical themes, and life-and-death dilemmas are captured not only in carefully crafted words, but in striking and unforgettable visual images.
Designed to integrate literature, thinking skills, and the creative arts, these unique units use Bloom's Taxonomy and Gardner's Multiple Intelligences to create activities that students will gladly complete. Units include questions, activities, worksheets, thematic culminating activities, and bibliographies of related books. This book is great for introducing social studies concepts and as lead-ins for longer novels in the same genre.
The purpose of this book is to provide a format that invites and encourages intermediate and middle school teachers and students to explore the rich content, visual beauty, and moving messages found in picture books. For more units, see Using Picture Books with Older Students Book 1.
