Voices in the Park
This past class, we used the book "Voices in the Park" to do an activity based around exploring the different perspectives that were discussed in the book. I liked the idea of using this book because we had previously gotten to read it in X-460, but the approach taken on it in that class was completely different. We basically just read the book aloud, and we didn't really grasp the full understanding of it. We concentrated more on the illustrations and why the author chose the characters he did. In E-339 we were able to pick apart the feelings of the characters and predict what they might say next, which I found very helpful in getting a deeper understanding of the meaning behind the text.

Hayley,
ReplyDeleteI completely agree. The group work was definitely more informative and now we know that we can use this book for mutiple lessons!
Hayley,
ReplyDeleteI agree! In our X460 class I didn't understand that there were different characters. I understood the book much better when we read it out loud and followed along with the overhead! Nice job reading to the class!

It's great to see different ways to use a text.
