Date and Time: Monday, August 15, 2022 at 1:30pm Eastern
Picture books, short fiction and poetry are common genres in language arts programs. The presenter will share how adding biographies, memoirs and epistles to the repertoire can add novelty while furthering multiple language arts goals. An inquiry lens is also offered that could be applied to other book studies.
Learning Goals:
- I can gain confidence with less familiar genres in the language arts classroom.
- I can strengthen my use of inquiry-friendly practices.
