*Have the children sit in a circle & place A4 sized photos of different breeds of puppies. Ask the children to point out the differences between each puppy, for example eye colour, fur colour, size, short or long fur etc. Ask questions of regardless of each difference would they love the puppy any less, would they be less interesting if the puppy was white or brown, just to generate a discussion. This can then lead into talking about our peers that have different coloured eyes, hair, skin & explain we are all the same but we just have differences or perhaps different beliefs etc *A fun activity could be to have the children play a game, children with blue eyes stand up, children with brown hair put your left foot in front of your right foot, children with a cat at home put your hand on your head etc... I feel this would be a fun way for the children to see differences & help them to accept their peers for their differences! …show more content…
Let the children have fun exploring what costume they would like to wear & play time to explore the differences, colours, jewels etc on each costume. Have them sit down & discuss the differences by writing a few things down about the costume, which culture it came from, are they colourful or do they have special jewels, head pieces etc. I think this is an exciting group activity to explore differences & educate the children at the same time! *Perhaps if their appears to be issues between children having a group discussion about differences can help alleviate the issues & help the children understand these differences. Books about culture, religions, disabilities etc can be a way of showing a group of children different elements to each child’s life & the differences between individuals. This can help any confusion children have & can help prepare them for future situations they may come
Book: The Monster at the End of this Book by Jon Stone, Illustrated by Michael Smollin Summary: There is a monster at the end of the story. Who is the monster at the end of this book? Grover does not want to know! But you do. Grover tried everything to keep the reader from getting to the end of the book.
Books are not just simply words on pages. They hold entire worlds and universes inside of them. The lives of fictional characters they have can change the lives of real people who read their stories. Even if someone doesn’t like to read, there is always one book that person can deeply connect with. If that book is banned where they live, they won’t ever get to experience that life changing moment unless they leave their country or state.
Books offer a type of knowledge to our world, that may not always be deemed as a “happy ending”. Therefore it is feared and people live a life, where they do not understand things in a much deeper
I would also assess that it is the appropriate time to teach. Turning teaching into a game is very helpful to gain the attention of the child. Including the parents is very useful in many cases because many children may feel safer. I would ask the child to sit or stand up straight. I would ask the child to take a deep breath in through the nose as if they were smelling a rose while keeping their mouth closed.
Growing up we 've read picture books that have introduced us to literature, wildly funny characters and taught us how to use our imagination. However, have you ever thought maybe these children books aren 't just for entertainment? What if they have hidden messages with racist undertones or represent political movements. Sometimes what we see is not always what you get so I 've studied two popular children 's figures, Curious George and Babar the Elephant.
I agree with this because once they find something bad or offensive in the book that they don 't want kids reading the book and then get the book challenged. Instead, I would just tell my child what books to read or pick a benefiting book for them to avoid any bad influence from another book. According
Yet, it has been used across the country to teach that people should be treated fairly regardless of their race. Some believe there are other books that teach the same concept without the harsh language. Parents are concerned about the environment that their children are exposed to when they read books that are deemed controversial. The restriction of books allows parents to control what books their child is allowed to check out of libraries.
Religion varies from person to person which is why promoting one belief could be unfair or unjust to another. The preferred audience age is questionable for the reason that various people have clashing beliefs which is why the controversy is brought to attention in whether it is appropriate for elementary schools and libraries. On the contrary, the argument of religion should not stop people from reading is book. It is a chance for the audience to experience contrasting views of religion and could make the subject be seen from a changed
Books help us grow and learn and should be available to everyone. Without books we wouldn’t be able to learn some of the valuable lessons that we have learned. Always remember to give every book a fair chance, because you never know if that book will have an important lesson that will help you in
Students can use books to grow their knowledge about our everyday day life. “It is important to help students see that everyone 's view counts” (Scales). By allowing students to see different points of views they’re able to experience situations unfamiliar to them and learn about different cultures and societies. If they don’t have the opportunity to read these books then they might miss out on these vital lessons. Children need to know about sensitive topics and strong ideas.
Show them how to do something do not just blurt out the instructions. Remember they are visually oriented provide pictures for them to be able to see what you expect from them. Help them to interact with their peers. On the outside it may look like they prefer t play on their own. But they just do not understand how to engage with their classmates.
My image of the lesson was to make two groups of children who would investigate a pumpkin as a team. I purposely chose similar pumpkins, but with attributes that I thought could be easily distinguished. Some of the visible differences were: round pumpkin vs. oval pumpkin, dark orange vs. light orange, long stem vs. short stem. Choosing pumpkins
al’s (2010) study concluded that read-aloud with emphasis on prints appear to have a positive impact on the literacy development on children. Anti-Defamation League (2014), also mentioned that evaluating an interesting children’s book involves assessment of the story, characters, themes, settings, illustrations and other considerations (i.e., author’s perspective, authenticity of character’s voices, and inclusion of understanding on society diversity). On the other hand, Lord (2012) mentioned in order to stimulate interest in a reading material, young child needs to understand what a word signifies for and that the word has a referent based in a child’s immediate reality as indicated by a singular
First of all, books can help students with projects for school. Some books can help with projects for social studies or science projects. For example, I had to do a project for social studies on a section in a chapter and my social studies book really came in handy with the project. Clearly, books shouldn 't be censored in schools since they can help
That method was to first begin with slow-paced, didactic lecturing and follow it with a game that gave the kids a chance to showcase their abilities. Seeing the kids who paid attention excel in the games made everyone else want to be like them. By the end of the summer, about five of the kids were able to play against each other with no adult monitoring them. Some of the kids even picked up on some of our habits as well.
