Picturebooks in ELT - 1 views

  •  
    The site does not appear to be maintained but the archives are well worth exploring to delve into picture book illustration. From the author: My intention is to discuss picturebooks, in particular the pictures in them! Why? Because, in ELT we tend to select picturebooks because they contain words our students might know. I plan to write something a couple of times a month, sharing what I discover in my readings; describe new titles I come across; discuss particular illustrators and their styles and generally promote the picture in picture books.

The Horn Book | Why Do Comics Matter? - The Zena Sutherland Lecture - 0 views

  •  
    "My first theory comes from the very structure of the comics medium. Comics, by definition, are a blend of words and pictures. In Western cultures, words and pictures have traditionally been seen as two separate disciplines. The people who were good at words were not the same people who were good at pictures. "

    A library full of the best-illustrated wordless picture books from around the world: what could be better for a child on the way to starting a new life in a strange country away from the hardships and difficulties that forced this radical move. Books with beautiful pictures instead of words - pictures that everyone can read without understanding the language of where the books come from; pictures that can invite new stories to be told, perhaps making sense of life. Ibby is proud to be involved with this project because it encompasses what we believe in: that every child has the right to become a reader. The enjoyment of reading pictures is the first step to becoming a reader for life.

Reading with Pictures: Serious Learning Through Comics - InformED : - 2 views

  •  
    hat do Alan Moore's Watchmen, Frank Miller's Sin City, and Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim series have in common? Yes, they're all graphic novels, but that's not all.

You may be wondering how this is possible, but a better question might be, "How have we been ignoring this for so long?" Let's take a look at how the role of comics in education has evolved in recent years.

    "Often I suggest we bring historically based picture books into student learning to explore history. So many titles are rich entry points for moments and individuals from the past. Another approach though is to use these narratives to explore the author as a researcher. How do authors gather background about individuals and events? How does that process help define the story?"

SEL and the Inquire Shared Foundation: Lesson Ideas with Picture Books - - 0 views

    "Have you ever thought that all learning is social and emotional learning (SEL)? This is something I recognize as an educator and as a learner. When teaching and learning new ideas, SEL is an essential part of the process. That's why you'll find social and emotional skills in state and national standards. SEL has many definitions with common ideas. At the core of SEL is noticing and regulating feelings and emotions to reach learning goals. SEL gives learners the skills they need to solve problems, work with others, and pursue interests."
