Assessment of Slide Deck:

Here are the criterion I will use to assess your module two "literature elements slide deck"

• explicit definition
• easy examples
• pop culture examples
• text based analysis
• use of color to draw attention to key details
• learning progression
• an explanation of why
• even a check for understanding (this lat bit isn't required but if you want to document evidence that you know how to measure knowledge growth..or even write a quiz question you might want to try. Hint try "action buttons"
• I would have added annotated examples of longer pieces, like copy a slide and then highlight where the alliteration occured.

As a reminder here are some examples I analyzed. 

Next Module

In our next module, we will consider how worldviews influence our definitions of children's literature and literacy. You will also be assigned to your book club group as part of this module. You will have two weeks to get together (either virtually or in person but at the same) to discuss two books. 

As a group we will write one model book review. This will be the template we use for the rest of the semester.

You will also need to stop by the Curriculum and Learning office and pick up the two novels we will read together. We will start these throughout the module. I will be posting reading prompts and fun discussion questions for the rest of the semester. I picked two books I love, "Handbook for Boys" and "Bucking the Sarge."

You also need to get together with someone or a small group (your choice) and discuss the reading "Thrice Lesson Learned." I will schedule two video chats for next week after8:00 pm if anyone wants to join one of those discussion groups.

Please remember you should strive to have the other readings done and your reflections up by Monday.
