Fourth Quarter Project: "Everything I need to know I learned from a children's book"

Cadet Teaching—4^th Quarter Project

“Everything I Need to Know I Learned from a Children’s Book”

Due:  May 15, 2012, by 3:30 p.m.

We all know how important reading is to a child’s success in school.

According to Daniels and Zemelman in Subjects Matter,

• Children read for information and pleasure
• Children need to read a lot: volume, quantity, practice count
• Children should read at comfortable recreation level
• Children need a real choice of reading materials—kids choose
•  Children should have books read aloud to them

For the final project of the year, you will read a selection of children’s

literature (you choose) according to the following rubric

• You may read only 1 Dr. Seuss book

•  You may read only 1 volume of a series

•  At least 4 of the books should be nonfiction (picture books work)

• You should read at least 3 chapter books (4^th grade level and under)--1 must be a Newbery Award winner

•  You may read materials on the children’s shelves here in the MC.MC also owns Newbery Award books for the past several years.  At least 1 book must be a Caldecott award winner (illustrations).

The Project:

                To read 12 children’s books over the quarter.

The Reading Guide:

                You may choose from the following as the “delivery system” for your reading guide:

·         Blogger.com

·         Bookemon.com, or

·         A conventional print notebook

                For each book include the following:

·         A bibliographic citation (MLA form is fine)

·         A color picture of the book’s cover

·         A brief synopsis—in your own words

·         Content (math, science, literature, etc.) area for the book

·         Approximate reading level and audience

·         1 creative activity you might use with children to
      reinforce comprehension and enjoyment of the
      book (should be age/grade appropriate).
