Banyai, Istvan. Zoom. New York, NY: Penguin Putnam INC., 1998.
Topic:
"My Story"
Discussion: Children need to be encouraged to use their imagination as often as possible. Through the use of art, feelings of happiness, saddness, worry, anger, excitement, and joy can be easily expressed. Therefore, painting/drawing activities need to be enforced in the classroom.
How to Teach it:
Read the book to the children. Discuss the book with them and allow them to think independantly about ideas they collected from the book. Then, hold a group discussion that allows the children to share each other's view point (and allow them to agree and disagree). Then, provide the materials and have the children create their "own story" about whatever they choose (special interests, hobbies, pets, family/friends, vacations, dreams, etc). At the end of the lesson, allow the children to share their projects with the rest of the class.
