LRC 480/580: Children's Literature in the Classroom Section 7 Fall 2003 Facilitator: Judi Moreillon

The goal of this project is for you to have real world experiences sharing literature with children and to have the opportunity to elicit students' responses to the books you select.

Read to a small group of children or a classroom of students at least two times during the semester. (You must share these book in a school setting.) One of the books you will share will be for your Southwest Children's Literature Web site contribution. In addition, share another book in a classroom and elicit student responses. If you choose, a third Share-A-Book Experience can be your Choice Project.

You will also sign up on October 16th to share one of your read-alouds in a small group with LRC 480/580 students on October 30th, November 6th, 13th, or 20th. You will share student work and/or invite your classmates to respond to the book in some meaningful way. You will have 30 minutes to share your book and elicit/share a response. Be sure to select literature with these time constraints in mind.

You will complete your reflection on a Share-A-Book Form for each title including why you choose the book you shared, the students' responses (You must attach a sample.), and your evaluation of your process.Your summaries are due on or before October 30th and December 4th.
