Wordless Picture Books
I love wordless picture books!! Especially David Weisner. I was able to participate in a book study during Children’s Literature. We did a presentation on David Weisner and discussed the many books that he has written! One of the most popular books Flotsam and his other book Tuesday are very useful in creating writing prompts. My children attempt to create thier very own story to the books. I was very inspired by our class discussion, in which you were able to demonstrate the many ways you have worked with children to create thier own version on the story! I loved it! I could hear my own students in the words that were used! How amazing…you can inspire children simply by pictures. I have not used wordless picture books in my own classroom, why not? I have no idea! I can promise that they will used in the future. I could give my students a couple of pages from the books and allow them to create thier very own story. It would be very possible to do this in my first grade classroom as well as a future second grade class?! Who knows?
