Becca of
Whole Words uses
Children Make Terrible Pets to teach plot diagram. I love that title!
Fiona uses
Diary of a Worm to teach point of view and voice.
"Dan" uses
Nothing Ever Happens on 90th Street to
introduce narratives. I love this book! There is so much that you can
do with it. By the way, I write "Dan" because it's Dan's wife that
actually posted under Dan's name. However, Dan is always welcome to
comment, too! :-)
Jennifer likes
My Great Aunt Arizona to help her students write about what inspires them.
Nari uses
Charlie Anderson to
teach questioning. I don't care if this book is great or horrible!
The cover alone would make me buy it, and I'm not even a cat person!
How cute is that cat?
Tracy at
Grade 3 Top Dogs uses
Big Chickens to discuss story elements.
Allie-Gator of
And so it begins. . . likes to use
Peanut Butter and Jelly to teach sequencing.
Prudence likes to introduce writing workshop with
Born Yesterday, The Diary of a Young Journalist.
Stjstinn uses a Patricia Polacco classic,
Thank You Mr. Falker, to teach about the importance of reading.
Michelle likes to use
The Important Book
at the beginning of the year to help the students share things about
themselves. I like this book a lot. Like Michelle, I've used it as
part of a getting to know you activity. Once you have introduced it
though, it's great for content area lessons. My friends have created
"The Important Book" to wrap-up science units. It's a great way to make
sure they really know the content, and it's fun! (Michelle, for some
reason I couldn't get to your profile from your link to see if you had a
blog. Sorry.)Michelle also suggested
The Worry Stone and
Mrs. Spitzer's Garden.
This is a list that could go on forever! I love how my big, tough fifth
graders get so caught up in picture books. I love even more how much
they learn from them. This has been fun. Expensive considering all the
books I couldn't resist ordering, but still lots of fun. Thanks for all
the great suggestions.
