Module 7

I would choose an author that the children enjoy reading such as Shel Silverstein. We would read several of his poems and books. I would also share his information about his life so the children can relate to him and his experiences. We would then write about why he wrote about the things that he did.
We would read two or three books about lighthouses. After reading all the books, we would make a chart showing how they are alike and how they are different. We may carry it on and talk about what could really happen in the stories and what could not happen.
Celebrations would be a good and interesting theme to study. I would choose several books about celebrations. Before reading them, we would look at the cover and chart how we think the books will be alike and how they will be different. We would then read the books to see if we were right.
