Overview:

Throughout this course, you will review websites related to children's literature and compile a compendium (collection) of 20 websites that could be used in your work with young children. These should be resources that inspire fun and effective learning activities. The completed compendium will include the links to 20 websites, comments you will write, including a brief description of the website content, a short description of an activity that you could do with children inspired by the website, and the age range for the activity. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation count toward your grade. This is due in Unit 7.

EXAMPLE:

This website is a collection of teacher-created activities and curriculum materials There is a broad range of topics including poetry. Some of the ideas include instructions for implementation in the classroom and there are some printable materials.

The “Poe tree” is an activity where children write their own poems on leaves that they attach to a tree. While 6-8 years old’s could be expected to do this with limited teacher supervision, it would be a great thing to involve families by asking them to help their children (age 3-8) write short poems or share some of their favorite poems.
