Last of the Presentations T/R EDRG 3321

Today we had the pleasure of seeing the last of the class Genre Presentations. I enjoyed the Multicultural one. I think their group did a very good job and they were very creative in presenting their work. I also enjoyed the final group. I love the fact that they both incorporated music.I think the game was fun. I was really impressed with all of the different approaches the different groups took to get the message of the material across.I like the fact that we were allowed to think and plan OUTSIDE OF THE BOX!Hats off to instructors that encourage creativity and individuality! I'm glad to say that you guys are my fellow classmates. It's been a great year. I've really enjoyed this class. I hope to have more classes with everybody in the near future. God Bless you guys and have a good night!I hope everybody aces their finals!The above books can be found at this website for multicultural food books for childrenhttp://news.bookweb.org/graphics/articles/200703/fft-front-window.jpg The mystery books can be found by googling or yahoo children's mystery books. There are quite alot of them.

One author that I've never even heard of is Mercer Mayer.He is a children's author who writes books for aesthetic use.One of the titles "Me Too sounds like a good book to read to my 9 year old. She can't for the life of her understand why her 5 year old sister wants to do everything she does. I plan on getting my hands on this one as soon as possible!

I was looking for some authors to introduce and I came accross Terry Deary,the author of Horrible History. the series has been around for 10 years so it must be at least decent.I don't know what it is about but it seems like it might be humorous,to say the least.Some of the other titles are not in the series but sound interesting. These books are about Christmas. These tales are written by different authors.The three authors that are named are Gillian Cross, Gary Kilworth and Robert Swindells.Another book that I saw is Santa's suit. This book seems more suitable for younger children The website I found this book is as follows.http://www.mumandworking.co.uk/images/promos/santas_suit.jpg

November is gone. We are now in December. I hope everyone had a great mini vacation. I'm sure everyone is looking forward to the end of this semester. It has been an experience I'm glad I've had. I was impressed today by the broken Fairy tales presentation. It was cute. It showed that each of the members put their share in. I also enjoyed the Giving Tree.Hang-man was a fun game as well. I know that my special ed kids who are in 7th and 8th grade enjoy word parts as long as it's incorporated into a game.I was looking around to find some authors. I went ahead and looked up Lemony Snicket. His real name is Daniel Handler. Here is the website. It looks like an interesting website.http://www.lemonysnicket.com/author.cfm Daniel Handler is the author who goes by the pseudoname Lemony Snicket.When I have time,I plan on exploring it as well.
