FIRST OF ALL I HAVE BEEN SICK ALL WEEKEND.... SORRY...
IN CHAPTER 1, according to the notes and lecture I learned that We as Educators need to show that we enjoy reading, so that the students will learn to enjoy it also. Also, I really believe and think that all children have the capability of learning. Some children learn by hands on, listening, and others by reading.
The First Author that I came across was Jim Arnosky, he says on his site "Everything I See And Do I Put Into a Picture Book For You!", I have also noticed a book without words is exciting as well, because a child can be able to use his or her imagination. Also us as educators, we would be able to use our imagination to tell the story by looking at the pictures.
The second author is Cynthia Rylant, she is sympathetic to her characters, she has written picture books, poetry, short stories, novels, and nonfiction books. Short stories is one type that most writers have in common.
The 3rd author is William Steig, he died in 2003, however he was known as the King of Cartoons. Cartoon books is another form of style in getting children to read books. One of his books was Shrek.

Juan, I enjoyed reading about the authors you gave us insight to.
ReplyDeleteCartoons is a medium that I forgot about! Cartoons seem to interest most children due to the emphasis placed on the pictures. Cartoons often tell the story with the illustrations.
Good job on summarizing what you learned from this chapter. I like the authors that you chose to highlight.
