[LM_NET] Picture books

["Reick, Leah" <Leah.Reick@KILLEENISD.ORG>]

Hello Collective Brain!

 

I need some help.  

 

I have a high school Spanish teacher who is looking to break out of a
rut in her lesson plans.  She has some beautiful Spanish language
picture books that she would like to use in her class.  She wants her
students to get into groups, read them, and then take the characters and
pictures to create a new story.  I think she wants to focus on
transitions in picture books.   She wants to give them some background
knowledge on picture books prior to beginning the lesson.  I think she
was hoping for a formula that would magically explain how to write one.
I suggested that her students might attempt to evaluate the books
themselves: evaluate sentence structure, audience, word choice,
transition words, structure of the story, quantity of text vs. the
complexity of the picture.  I didn't get into use of color because I
don't think they will be drawing the book, just writing a new story.  Is
there anything else I might include, oh Brain?  I'd like to make this
collaborative effort a good one.

 

Thanks for your help in advance.
