Did that information slip out of my brain? <br /><br />I'm so glad to hear that you used picture books with your high school students, Kate. Good picture books can work on so many different levels; it's a shame more people don't realize this.David LaRochellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09146141298496287697noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575001999763750294.post-6900537107853892412012-03-29T17:58:35.123-07:002012-03-29T17:58:35.123-07:00You and I would have been excellent, collaborative...You and I would have been excellent, collaborative colleagues, Kate. I LOVE using children's literature to teach other things (or introduce topics). Like you, I used them when I taught middle school and high school as well!Library Jewelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06460917654300703097noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575001999763750294.post-18076681662351781562012-03-29T04:46:37.631-07:002012-03-29T04:46:37.631-07:00a dazzling array of new books! is there anything m...a dazzling array of new books! is there anything more exciting?brattcathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10382428477056833533noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7575001999763750294.post-67740787818865604212012-03-29T02:51:41.169-07:002012-03-29T02:51:41.169-07:00I miss being in a classroom.

I found the same level of enthusiasm for books with my former high school students, even though sometimes it took awhile to get below the "cool" surface facade. I often used children's books to illustrate important literary terms. For a high school teacher, I sure do own many books normally intended for elementary kids.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09223040482420514208noreply@blogger.com
