Describe how to effectively evaluate books for children?
I believe that when choosing books whether it be for your classroom or home should be evaluated. Children are always asking questions about certain words or why did that happend? You the parent or teacher should be able to pull books that both girls and boys can relate to the subject or objective you will be covering. I know sometime last year. I had to subsuite for a first grade class. It was reading time. I had to read one chapter to the children of their book and was inform the word "smoke" comes up tell the children. People didn't know smoking was bad for you in those time of day. Make sure that the books you are picking out are properate for your child's age and maturity level. Does the book have strengths and weakness?
Why do Character and Settings anyalysis on children books?
The character and setting anyalysis are very important because, children become aware of what is happening in the story they are reading. The purpose of character and settings make the students become part of the story he and she are reading. There are many activities that you as a teacher can do with your students. You can make your students draw a web about the character and settings, write a play and write a story and draw picture of their favorite character and setting. It makes the children wonder what is going to happend next?? I know when I was in elementary school my favorite activity was drawing the web because it helped me with my writings.
Is the valued based?
Yes,I do believe the vaule is based. There are many books out there that are important values whether it is religion,education and help children during difficult times in their life.

Your points were great. It is true that kids need to have books that are appropriate for them to read.
ReplyDeleteI agree that by analyzing the characters, students can feel more connected to the character in a book. I think it expands their horizons.
ReplyDeletei agree with you amy, books can help children through the difficult times in their lives. books are very helpful and informal.
ReplyDeleteI used to do character webs in elementary school. It seemed annoying at that time to evalute characters in a book, but afterwards, I was able to understand the characters on a personal level. It is true that by evaluating a character, a child is able to relate to them. Great ideas!
