The MidTerm Project will be the creation of a Children BOOK of at least 10 pages. It should tell a story (fiction or nonfiction) and be both engaging to the student as a listener and exciting through its visual presentation. Creativity is a vital part of this assignment It should be 12 X 17 or smaller but can be bound in various ways. The book should support a particular skill or outcome and reflect incorporation of some of the various concepts and skills addressed during this course. The book should be purposeful as well as entertaining.
Based on the course readings discuss:
The age and group this book was intended for and why
The elements that went into creating this book based on what you now know about early literacy (i.e. repetition, multiple perspectives etc.).
What was your focus (i.e., skill, topic or competency relevant to the Early Childhood curriculum and/or the preschool NGLS).
What standard your book meets and why?
Why you choose the vocabulary, language and/or concepts that extend student knowledge?
How would you use this book in your classroom
Support your discussion with research (3 references should be used at minimum).
