Why Children's Literature Matters?
Description
Teachers and parents, welcome to the first lesson of the "Introduction to Children's Literature." This first micro-lesson explores a fundamental question: What is the power of children's literature? We will unpack the profound impact that the books we read in our childhood and youth can have on shaping who we are.
Using a powerful framework from scholar Professor Rudine Sims Bishop, we will learn how children's books can act as "Mirrors, Windows, and Sliding Glass Doors."
This lesson will provide you with a new lens for understanding the true value and transformative potential of children's literature.
This lesson is delivered through an interactive video. Your participation is key to making it work!
- Watch & Interact: As you watch the video, no-stakes questions will appear on the screen. These are not graded and are simply for retrieval practice to help you lock in the key concepts.
- Your Goal: Simply engage with the material and test your own understanding. There is no pressure—this is a learning tool for you
