Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday of Unit 7 Points: 100

Overview:

Each week you will learn about a new genre of children’s literature. For this course project, you will select a book from each genre and provide a summary of the book and a related Language Arts (LA) activity. Your LA activities could be any art, music, drama, writing, science, or math experience that somehow connects to the story. LA activities help children benefit in many ways from the books they hear or read by building their comprehension, critical thinking, and vocabulary. By the end of this course, you will have created your very own Personal Collection of Children’s Literature and Language Arts Activities!

Instructions:

You may put the project together in any format you choose (Word document, PowerPoint, etc.); however, the following requirements must be included:

Select (8) children’s books to include in your project, one for each of the following genres:

1. Multicultural Book 2. Alphabet or Counting Book or Nursery Rhymes 3. Picturebook 4. Traditional Literature 5. Fantasy 6. Poetry 7. Realistic Fiction 8. Nonfiction (such as Cookbooks, Encyclopedias, Biographies, etc.).

For each book you select, provide the following information:

• Specify the book genre • Title of the book • Author/s and illustrator/s • Provide a brief summary of the book including the setting, plot, and theme • Describe why you choose this book • Describe how you determined that it is quality literature (good storytelling, won awards,

challenging vocabulary, thought-provoking, natural flowing language, etc.) • Age / Grade level

Requirements:

• Use at least three (3) scholarly sources for your project and include all references. You may use your textbook as one scholarly reference.

TIPS: • It is a good idea to bring this assignment with you to your local library early on in this course

and look for books in each genre to help you get a head start on completing this assignment! Ask a librarian for help selecting children’s books in each genre. Check out physical copies of the books that interest you most to help inspire you when creating language arts activities!

• The links to the videos provided in this course from Storyline Online include a section on the bottom of each story with free teacher and/or parent guides that include lesson plans and activities. You may look at those for ideas or as inspiration to come up with your own ideas for LA activities. There are also lots of creative ideas on Pinterest and other readings and resources provided for you in this course. Be sure to provide an APA reference for any resources you may use!

Be sure to review the criteria by which your work will be evaluated before you submit your work.
