EDUO 9224: Bringing Your Literature to Life

Bringing Your Literature to Life puts the student in the author's place, reconstructing the sequence of events/activities that led to the writing of the original material; or puts the student in the main character's place and encourages them to find new possibilities or solutions based on inferences and making predictions.  Some of the activities are related to math or science concepts embedded in the story content.  Students will be engaged in creative writing, inventive spelling, illustrating, scale model building, measuring, mapping, brainstorming, etc.  These activities are consistent with the common core standards for literature and range in difficulty from third grade through eighth grade.  These experiences are designed to involve the students in the higher level thinking skills described by Benjamin Bloom, particularly application, analysis, and synthesis; with peer evaluation occurring as students assess each other's solutions to problems.

This course may be taken for 1-3 Semester Credits/Units.
