What did you plan to learn or do? (What was your exhibit goal(s)?)
My goals were to make an interactive children’s story book and to learn more about each country that I was going to include in my interactive children’s story book. With my interactive children’s story book, I wanted kids to really get something out of the story instead of just reading a book. Many kids often learn better when they are using more than one of their senses. My book includes the use of mouth by the kids reading my book and the use of touch as the kids get the opportunity to dress all of the children throughout the book.

What steps did you take to learn or do this? Explain what you did so it is easily understood. The judge wants to know and understand the steps you used to make your exhibit.
On the first page, which is the United States of America Page. I chose a background color of Purple; which would be the background color of the rest of my book. The first step on this page that I did was to color the American flag. The American flag was colored

As mentioned above all of the pieces were magnetic so I thought I could use a cookie sheet to display them. Unfortunately there are so many pieces that they would not all fit on a cookie sheet. My second thought was to use a magnetic board. I found out that they didn’t really fit on the magnetic board. After I was struggling to find a place to display my pieces, my mom suggested that I use the magnetic board but only display about a third of the pieces. I thought that this was a good idea. On the first page no clothes were put in the book. The second page each girl’s clothing was put in the protective sleeve. For the third page I did the boy’s clothing. With the fourth and final page, I put both the girl’s and the boy’s clothes into the protective sleeve. I repeated the pattern so none, girl, boy, both throughout my entire

    Foundation Before Density In Scott McCloud’s graphic essay, “Show & Tell”, McCloud uses an appreciable combination of words and images interchangeably to convey clear and comprehensible thoughts, He establishes better, more understood, literature by depicting images directly alongside pieces of text. Evidently, pictures are an associative mechanism that enables newcomer and experienced readers to make visual connections to text they normally would not conclude to by only analyzing and interpreting words (McCloud). Moreover, aside from images allowing readers to make connections, illustrations are particularly crucial components in literary works because they can convey coherent messages all on their own. In all, visual depictions in literature…

    What’s good about this is that children may not realize how often they or others interrupt people who are speaking. Another important component to the story is how the author writes “I have a lot to say, and all of my words are very important to me”. This shows that the author knows that children’s own thoughts, feelings, and needs are the important to themselves. All children need to be aware that their own thoughts, feelings, and needs are important and should be respected. Also, the humor brought into the book really helps to keep the children interested and interacting with the book.…

    Orbis Pictus Award Essay

    The Orbis Pictus Award is the most prestigious award given to authors that successfully create a nonfiction book for children. The authors are celebrated with this award if their work meets a certain set of criterion – accuracy (of the person/event they focus on), style (interesting and stimulating writing), organization, design (attractive details), and usefulness in the classroom – and only one author is honored with the award each year. The book must be written with the purpose of sharing information in a way that children would find interesting, thus the criteria that it be in book format versus a textbook layout. Knowing the five criterions, I explored six Orbis Pictus Award winning books from past years and focused on the elements…

    When I began Energy Express, I thought my role would be improving children's reading skills and helping them cultivate a passion for reading. However, throughout my summer of service I learned that the role of an Energy Express mentor is much greater. To mentor a child is to shape their personality and future, it is to help them grow to love learning and also to love themselves, it is to offer them hope and love since many children in this area struggle within untraditional family structures, and it is to teach them their potential is endless. Therefore, my three goals would be: cultivate a love for readnig through hands-on activities, provide a support, fun, and active enviroment that welcomes and comforts all children, and to build lasting, stable friendships among the children I mentor.…

    In Aldous Huxley’s novel, Brave New World, he uses many different topics and literary devices to convey to the reader social issues that are occurring in the 1930s and how they compare to the new society formed in the State World. Some of the elements that Huxley uses to describe the government control over the citizens by brainwashing and drug dependency are precise diction, vivid imagery, and figurative language. He then uses these devices to show the moral and cultural decay in the New World. The theme of Brave New World is the pursuit of happiness through extreme ideals and use of drugs which helps play a factor in aiding the reader to understand what social issues are occurring throughout the novel.…

    Fearful of my own words, I kept them inaudible. Being able to find my hidden words, allowed me to thrive as a leader of the organization, Traveling Story Tent in Turlock. I was the shy girl who rarely raised her nose from a book. Being sensitive and continuously insecure of what others thought of me, I took comfort at the library and spent elementary school lunch and recess invested in books.

    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.…

    Throughout the past few weeks of Studies in English Education, the main aspect that has been addressed is the term ‘multiliteracies.’ From completing this portfolio and attending each of the workshops, I have learned that to become a text producer I need to be involved with the variety of functions in language and literacy. Hill (2012) states that ‘to be multiliterate means to be literate in print-based and new communication technologies’ (p. 361). Such technologies include ‘electronic literacies, technoliteracies, digital literacies, visual literacies and print-based literacies’ (Hill 2012, p. 361).…

    Children literature includes books, magazines, stories and poems that children enjoy. It can be traced to stories and songs which were part of the oral tradition that adults shared with their children before the advent of publication. The development of children literature is difficult to trace. However, from the 15th century AD, a large volume of literature, often with a religious or moral message, has been targeted specifically at children. Many of the children books acknowledged today as classics can trace their origins to the late 19th and early 20th centuries which become known as the Golden Age of children literature.…
