ECE 335 Week 1 DQ 1 Multicultural Literature

Multicultural Literature. As the diversity of our nation increases, so will the diversity in our classrooms. One way that teachers can help to ensure their students understand the different cultures around them is through literature. Section 2.4 of our textbook lists the following guidelines for evaluating diversity in children’s books:

Accurate representation of cultural specifics

Avoidance of stereotypes

Achievement

Author/illustrator

Copyright date

Sensibility

Language

Using the guidelines listed above and your textbook, choose a multicultural piece of literature to evaluate. Explain and justify whether each guideline is addressed in the book. If the guideline is not addressed, share how you think the book could be modified to include all of the guidelines for evaluating diversity in children’s books.

ECE 335 Week 2 DQ 1 Picturebooks

Picturebooks. The introduction for Chapter 3 of the text discusses picturebooks and the important role this type of literature can have in helping children develop in their visual, spatial, and gestural literacies (Coats, 2013). Our ability as teachers to understand the basics of picturebook design will assist us in our choosing of books. For this post, you will create a picturebook of your own, implementing and discussing those elements addressed in Chapter 3. Go to Storybird and design a picturebook to share with your classmates. In your post, include a description of the elements of an effective picturebook design, and explain how your picturebook aligns with these elements. Include one picture and description for each of the following:

a. Color

Shape, line, and texture

Characters and icons

Composition and point of view

In your post, be sure to include a discussion of these elements, why you feel your students would enjoy this book, and a working link to your picturebook

ECE 335 Week 2 DQ 2 Story Plot

Story Plot. Section 4.2 of the text discusses in detail the importance and the various types of plot we see in the stories we read. Successful stories are those that have an identifiable plot or sequence of events (Coats, 2013). Our understanding of the types of plot will help us to better identify the kinds of stories our future students gravitate towards. For this post, you will complete “The Seven Basic Plots” chart, which is available in your online course. You will choose at least two children’s books that fit into each plot category. A title may fit into more than one category, but you must choose at least two books for each plot type. Then, briefly discuss how knowing this information will help you choose literature for your classroom.

ECE 335 Week 2 Story Element Lesson Plan

Story Element Lesson Plan. Chapter 4 of your text provides an in-depth look at the elements that help make up a good children’s book. For this assignment, you will create a lesson plan devoted to one of those key elements. You will first decide on a grade level to teach this lesson to. Next, choose a story that you feel is developmentally appropriate for that grade level. Then, plan a lesson that utilizes that story. Your lesson needs to focus on introducing or teaching one of the story elements shared in Chapter 4 such as: character, plot, setting, theme, or even beginning, middle, or end. In Week 5, you will be building upon this lesson plan to create a week long unit, so please consider what you would like the theme of your unit to be when you are choosing a piece of literature for this lesson. For this assignment, you have two options:

Option One: You can produce a 10-minute video of yourself teaching this lesson. Within the video, explain which guidelines for evaluating children’s literature you took into account for this lesson. You will upload your video to YouTube (or similar site) and submit a Word document that includes the following:

An introduction at the beginning of the video that identifies the grade level you are working with, the title and author of the book you are using for the lesson, and the story element to be taught.

A description of your completed lesson plan by clearly stating what you will do for each section of the lesson plan template.

An explanation of how at least one story map from Story Maps, will be utilized during your lesson.

A closing summary that explains the guidelines for evaluating children’s literature that you took into

account for this lesson. Make sure your closing summary is supported by scholarly resources.

Option Two: You can create a three- to four-page Word document. If you choose to create a word document, it must include the following:

The grade level you are working with.

The title and author of the book you are utilizing.

All aspects of the lesson (use the lesson plan template for a reference).

At least one story map from Story Maps, along with an explanation of how you will utilize it within the

lesson development section of the lesson plan template.

A closing summary explaining which of the guidelines for evaluating characteristics of quality children’s

literature (from Section 4.4 of your text) you took into account when choosing the literature for this lesson.

Whichever option you choose, provide your instructor with access to your work by uploading all the necessary links and/or text in a document. Be sure that you are utilizing appropriate 6th edition APA formatting for all written material. You must reference one scholarly source in addition to the course text.
