Due Date: 11:59 p.m. EST, Sunday of Unit 7
Points: 100
Overview:
Each week you will learn about a new genre of children’s literature. For this course project, you will
select a book from each genre and provide a summary of the book and a related Language Arts (LA)
activity. Your LA activities could be any art, music, drama, writing, science, or math experience that
somehow connects to the story. LA activities help children benefit in many ways from the books they
hear or read by building their comprehension, critical thinking, and vocabulary. By the end of this
course, you will have created your very own Personal Collection of Children’s Literature and
Language Arts Activities!
Instructions:
You may put the project together in any format you choose (Word document, PowerPoint, etc.);
however, the following requirements must be included:
Select (8) children’s books to include in your project, one for each of the following genres:
1. Multicultural Book
2. Alphabet or Counting Book or Nursery Rhymes
3. Picturebook
4. Traditional Literature
5. Fantasy
6. Poetry
7. Realistic Fiction
8. Nonfiction (such as Cookbooks, Encyclopedias, Biographies, etc.).
For each book you select, provide the following information:
• Specify the book genre
• Title of the book
• Author/s and illustrator/s
• Provide a brief summary of the book including the setting, plot, and theme
• Describe why you choose this book
• Describe how you determined that it is quality literature (good storytelling, won awards,
challenging vocabulary, thought-provoking, natural flowing language, etc.)
• Age / Grade level
CHS203 – Children’s Literature and Language Arts
Honors - Personal Collection of Children’s Literature and Language Arts Activities
• Three (3) vocabulary words
• Three (3) open-ended questions
• Description of a Language Arts (LA) activity
Requirements:
• Use at least three (3) scholarly sources for your project and include all references. You may
use your textbook as one scholarly reference.
• Use complete sentences and appropriate grammar and spelling.
TIPS:
• It is a good idea to bring this assignment with you to your local library early on in this course
and look for books in each genre to help you get a head start on completing this assignment!
Ask a librarian for help selecting children’s books in each genre. Check out physical copies of
the books that interest you most to help inspire you when creating language arts activities!
• The links to the videos provided in this course from Storyline Online include a section on the
bottom of each story with free teacher and/or parent guides that include lesson plans and
activities. You may look at those for ideas or as inspiration to come up with your own ideas for
LA activities. There are also lots of creative ideas on Pinterest and other readings and
resources provided for you in this course. Be sure to provide an APA reference for any
resources you may use!

Readers' advisory services aim to match patrons with books they will enjoy reading for pleasure. This library service helps patrons select recreational reading materials. It has evolved from a prescriptive model in the early 20th century focused on "better books" to a more patron-oriented approach that values fiction reading. Readers' advisory librarians now use various print and electronic resources, as well as their own reading knowledge, to suggest titles to patrons based on books they have enjoyed previously. The goal is to foster enjoyment of reading and support for the library.
