Some of My Favourite Picture Books - Great for all Ages
I have always loved picture books. I've used them with students of all ages for a variety of purposes. When I taught grade 11 Parenting, one whole day every week was devoted to children's literature and how it can be useful in teaching everything from a moral lesson to literary devices to discussing social justice issues. Coupled with beautiful illustrations, these books are truly a treasure to have in the classroom. The grown-ups that I've shared them with love them too!
It's time to move teaching and learning into the 21st century in a balanced, holistic and relevant way that is culturally proficient and pedagogically responsible.
I have used blogging for a variety of purposes and in a number of different context over the years. I have found it an especially effective tool because:
-reflects the reality of the world our students live in -removes the intimidation that the traditional pen and paper tasks often entail -technology has allowed for a great deal of emancipation and therefore more students can express their thoughts because they have access
