Did you see the Earth Day Google Doodle?! I couldn't wait to share it with the students. It begins with a little Fox that's dreaming about the state of our planet. He wakes up with a jolt because he realizes that our planet is in trouble; the fish are swimming in polluted waters, the icecaps are melting ... BUT - he's decided that there are actions that he can take to help. He sets out to plant some seedlings ... ... and he meets some friends along the way. We clicked through the images together as a class and talked about what we saw: - what was happening in the pictures? - what were the animals thinking and feeling? - what message was the illustrator trying to share? Wordless Books are great for inferring and creating deeper understanding. Check out this Reading Rockets article for more info on why and how to use them. Also, check out the list of Reading Rocket's Favourite Wordless Picture Books. Some of my favourites are: The Girl and the Bicycle The Boy and the Airplane The Lion and the Mouse The Snowman Journey Feel free to make a copy of the Earth Day Google Doodle Doc I created and use it to tell your own stories!
