The Featherless Chicken Book Report

Improved Essays
come along. The chicken accidentally picks up what looks to be some feathers, and then is invited on the boat with the other chickens. After all the chickens get into an accident the featherless chicken discovers that the other chickens didn’t have real feather either and that they are all the same. The featherless chicken is a great book to teach the importance of being yourself which very good lesson that should be taught to children at a very young age. If the chickens would 've all been themselves in the first place they wouldn 't have been selective to who would come on the boat. I would tell my students that God has created each one of them perfectly and that we should not try to be like others to fit in but in the end we are all the …show more content…
Mike Mulligan was so faithful to Mary Anne that he never left her side, even when she became apart of the town hall. I would love to have students think of two people who remind them Mike Mulligan and Mary Anne, it might be them and their parents or them and a teacher. I believe that God could easily take the place of Mike Mulligan, like Mike, God will always be by our side no matter what. Even when people say we can’t do certain things, God will always believe in us no matter what. Cronin, D. (2003) Dairy of a worm. New York City, NY: HarperCollins. AD360L (Preschool - 3rd) A worm recounts his everyday adventures in his diary. From his lessons from mom and his digging lessons with spiders. The worm goes through a few months of his diary when he experiences many different things and is taught many different lessons. This may not be a book with a solid story that can be told, I do think it is interning to read a diary that would be written by a worm. I think students would really enjoy this book and also enjoy how the book is formatted into a diary. I would use this book to show my students that even the tiniest creatures were created by God with a purpose. As an activity for my students I would have them pick and animal and write a diary entry as that animal. This is a very cute book, and it is also very funny. Even though it is recommended for lower level classes I think high level classes would apprentice the humor

    Molly Bang Paper When thinking of this assignment, I immediately knew which book I was going to choose. I felt that choosing a favorite book from my childhood could be a fun way to see the differences in how I viewed it then, and how I might view it today. As a child, I was in love with Mercer Mayer’s “Little Critter” books (and still am today). I decided not to go searching for an easy or popular book, rather I wanted to take one I know and love and see if/how Molly Bang’s principles were applied.…

    Farid Attar in The Conference of the Birds suggests that in order to enlighten an individual, the individual must have an educator who is willing to destroy their Self. Throughout “The Story of Sheikh San’an”, Sheikh San’an is displayed as an exemplary Muslim who follows the Islamic guidelines and is described as the people of Mecca’s “living symbol of belief” (Attar 1984: 68). Additionally, his pious attributes qualify him to be an educator to many people. However, “every man meets problems on the Way” (Attar 1984: 68) and the Sheikh encounters a Christian girl who needs help finding the Way. Throughout The Conference of the Birds, Attar discusses self-annihilation as being the key to finding the Way to the Simorgh.…
