Not only that, but he hints toward people’s root of communication through a generalization. McCloud knows that not until after a person has mastered the fundamentals of communication, learned when young through picture books incorporating minimal text, does that person begin to effectively hone and utilize one medium.

The assessor will need to decide the methods or activities to be used for assessment such as observations, performance evidence, discussion or witness/learner statement.

    Throughout the time that I have spent within my field placement, the teacher has allotted various small increments of time for vocabulary. The teacher usually spends less than five minutes discussing vocabulary that the students will see in a new book or when there is a question about a new vocabulary word. If the teacher is introducing multiple new words, she will spend between ten to fifteen minutes introducing the words, explaining the definitions of the words (and explaining which definition fits the best for the circumstance), and allowing students to make connections with the words. Once the teacher introduces the new words, she puts the new words on the word wall. This allows the students to reference the word wall throughout the day.…

    Over the years, children’s literature has established itself as a vital tool for the exploration, feeling and creativity ideals that both children and young adults depend upon. Children’s literature is a necessity to facilitate learning, assist in shaping reader’s minds, to stimulate their thought processes and is a reflection of social change. Historically, Australian picturebooks were not a readily available or utilised resource. Australian colonial children were also only exposed to British children’s books, which sheltered them from experiencing literature about their own history, nature and landscape.…
