We're back in full swing after the break we took last week due to district assessments. Your rubrics for blog posts are going to be passed back on Tuesday when you report to school. Please pay careful attention to how I grade these responses. Take note that each response is 1/5 of your blog post grade, which counts one grade each 6 weeks. Some of you performed wonderfully, while others need a little push in the right direction. Here's your topic for this week.
Picture books are typically associated with younger students and even little kids, but these books have a lot of value even for older readers. Did you know that some libraries call picture books "everybody books" because they are, well, for everybody? While you are answering the questions below, think about a time when you read a picture book or had one read to you.
The initial question: What value do picture books have for older students like yourself? To answer the initial question, consider the answers to the following sub-questions: 1) Think of a time when a teacher used a picture book to introduce a skill, such as tone and mood, sequencing, summary, or even specific literary elements. Was it effective in sparking your interest in the topic? 2) Have you read any picture books that you particularly enjoyed or remember? 3) Why would these books be called "everybody books?" 4) Can you think of a specific picture book that might help teach a certain skill to you and your peers?
Answer the initial question and sub-questions in 4 complete, thoughtful sentences. To get full credit, you must answer each part, show that you put thought into your answers, and write the full 4 sentences. Remember, Mackenzie Raiders strive for 4s, meaning anything less should not be acceptable.

Well no teacher has ever read a book to me about literacy but about other subjects such as math,science, or even social studies. Picture books have a huge value to me because they are the only books I read and they paint a more visual picture for. I remember reading the book Were the Wild Things are. They are called 'everyone books' because everyone canread them and everyone loves them. I dont think I would beable to think of a book that would help me or my peers.
ReplyDeletePicture books gives us a picture in are mine just like chapter books.When a teacher reads a picture book you can feel how the character feels and if you feel like that.Yes, I remember reading THE GINGER BREAD GIRL.Everybody loves to read picture books even some adults.For math we can get A THOUSAND LIGHTNIBUGS.

ReplyDeleteI remember in per-k that I had to read a picture book about a dog and I enjoyed it.
They would be called everybody books because mainly everybody can read them.
I think that a specific book could be a dictionary that could have some pictures in it to help people learn a certain skill.
Well I say that picture books arn't just for kids they can be for older people too. Because some picture books have facts and stuff to learn about like a nonfiction book. And it can be fun to read because it's not just words it has pictures in it so if you don't get a paragraph or something you might get it by the picture. So why I think it's also called everybody books is because it's not just for little kids it can also be for older people.

ReplyDeleteCduran: One of my teachers in 3rd grade used picture books to show us how to multiply and put thing in books. I have read this book about ants puting other ants in groups it was a picture book but I don't remember what it was called. I diden't really enjoy the book but it was an OK book.

ReplyDeleteIt's hard to say what value picture books have for me because Im required to read chapter books now. The last picture book I remember seeing was in kindergarten and the teacher used it to introduce counting by showing pictures of fireflies with lights on their tails. Middle School Get Me Out Of Here is a chapter book but has a lot of pictures in it and it was the last book I read and enjoyed. Picture books are called "everybody books" because they are for everybody, not just young kids. I don't know a specific picture book but one about snowboarding could help me and others learn or get better at snowboarding.
ReplyDeletePicture books can be called "everybody books" because anybody can view them, and sometimes we do when we are bored. I really think picture books can have value on older students. They help us understand the book more sometimes. I remember a time when a teacher brought out a book after we thought and drew what we thought a character looked like based on the details in the book. It made me more interested in the whole "mental image" topic (we were young at the time). I can not really think of a picture book that might teach me or fellow classmates.
ReplyDeleteI think the books are called everybody books, because anyone can read and enjoy them. Books like those can teach a lot, without saying much. Picture books that I have read and liked, is Dr. Sues books. Those books encourage imagination. I like to read them because its a chance to let my imagination run free.
ReplyDeleteI remember discussing about the characters feelings and if it feels like us.Yes, I remember reading THE GINGERBREAD GIRL.Well everybody enjoys reading picture books.There is a book called a 1000 STARS.
ReplyDeletein third grade my elar teacher read i picture book to demonstrate seguince. no i dint realy have any picture books that i enjoyed exept the animal encyclopidia. they ar called everybode books because alot of people love picture books. no i cant think of a picture book that can help me.
ReplyDeleteI remember when my teacher read us the gingerbread man and the next day said she "Caught" him in the hallway. I cant really remember much before 4th grade except the gingerbread man story. I only had so many picture books i liked, other than that i was a really good with chapter books. I don't see many "Everybody" books that could help me.
ReplyDeleteI can remember reading a picture book. It was not even too long ago, maybe just last year. The picture book that I read was called Olive the Other Reindeer. It's a cool little cute book, and picture books can be called everyone books because everyone can read them, they are too easy to read.
