Literature Project (journal 9)

This past week we discussed our children's literature project. This project is a way for us to implement a class subject through literature. The example discussed in class was the listening walk. The book is good for the type of class whose learning what sounds different objects can make. It also sparks the creativity a child can have by finding different ways to make these sounds with different body parts. So for our lesson we have to find a book that teaches science, language, social skills and studies.

I believe that this is a great unit to begin discussing. I've noticed that students have an easier time learning something that they may not realize they're learning. Its almost like the learning is subliminal. Along with what is being taught, there can also be things in the reading that the student can refresh their memory.

After looking at blackboard and seeing what group I was placed it, I found it quite interesting and shocking that I was part of the science group. Its funny because with my elementary education major, I wanted to have a science endorsement. So with this experience in this class I maybe able to take this and use it in my future science class.
