A Picture is Worth a Thousand Thoughts
We did a little inferring exercise in class today where the kids were given some random picture books (pictures of the titles below) and asked to read them with a partner. Simple enough task but the books did not have any words. At first they thought it was really easy and just looked at the pictures, however they soon realized that a story was being told and they began to investigate and explore the details that gave the story life. Wordless books allowed the students to be more aware of their own thinking and how a story develops within the details of the story, passage of time and the perspective of the reader. The stories (opinions) that they came up with provided deeper insights and reflections about the book as well as encouraged them to "think about their own thinking". Talk to your child to find out more.

it's was funny to read the books withe no words.Maybe we can read it back and forwards.
ReplyDeleteThis project was kind of challenging to tell the story without any words. Me and Kyle were partners we had the story Zoom by Istvan Banyai we found out we could read the book backwards. Me and Kyle thought this project was hard and fun but we found a way to read the book and it turned out okay.
ReplyDeleteThese books were so fun. We got paired into groups of two and we had to read one of these amazing books. These books have no description ,no word just pictures.
ReplyDeleteThis is one the funnest things I did because we could think what the character was doing.
ReplyDeleteI really liked to tell a story with no words! My partner and I had a hard time making a story up, especially when we had to tell the story to our whole class. It was fun, although it was challenging.
ReplyDeleteSo challenging to put word in to the characters mouth.I thought it was fun
