Children's literature project

Wed, Mar 18, 2009 -- A recap...

For the children's literature project, you will have to find out which subject you are assigned to do first (from the announcement below). After making sure with your group members that there's no duplication in the group, then you write an annotated bibliography.

The first part of the INDIVIDUAL PROJECT is due on 3/27

This is what needs to be included in your annotated bibliography

Publishing Information (author/illustrator, publisher, and date published).
3-5 sentences describing what this book is abou, and how children, educators, or parents would benefit from this book.
A photocopy of the title page of the book.
The second part of the INDIVIDUAL PROJECT is due on 3/30 (rationale of teaching your assigned subject). For example, why is it important to teach counting to children at young age? or why is it important to teach the concept of climate to fourth graders? Refer to the guidelines if you have any questions or talk to me...


GROUP PROJECT

As a group, collectively you will have to find a book in the subject you are assigned. I will allow some class time for you to work together (so you don't need to spend too much extra outside class time). Feel free to use cell-phone, instant messenger, facebook, any kind of communication modes to engage in group meeting.

The lesson plan is due on 4/3. On the same day, you will have to present the story along with the musical activity you design in class.
