Picture Book Month

After reading the packet "Picture Book Month", I now understand why it's important to involve picture books in lesson plans. This is because it not only make learning entertaining but highly educational, given that it involves a lot of visual learning. It's also very interactive and gives the opportunity for students to participate more freely and comfortably in class. It is also easy to incorporate picture books in lesson plans. You can tie it in to anything really. If you choose math, you choose a book with pictures that have several objects and count them. You won't struggle to find one since some are picture books created specifically for math. There are many activities that will be useful, such as a comparison chart or using picture books for writing. It doesn't matter what grade you are teaching, the author's writing style will benefit them. If I were to work on a lesson plan involving a picture book, I would choose "Don't let the pigeon stay up late" I would choose this book because I've seen many teachers incorporate them in their classes. It's a book for any grade. You could involve persuasion into it and compare what the pigeon says to try and persuade the reader, with what the student will write in their persuasive essay. Focus on different ways of persuasion. It's fun to read the book aloud and involve the kids into what they think the pigeon is trying to do. That way you would be incorporating writing into it. there are many books to choose from, just attach it to the subject you are teaching and ta-da! http://www.cbcbooks.org/cbc_event/november-is-picture-book-month/
