Book builder Link: http://bookbuilder.cast.org/view.php?op=view&book=131965&page=1


I create this book for grade 1 to grade 3 children for literacy learning in reading, writing and speaking. The book writes about 10 facts about polar bears. The book helps children get know polar bears’ habits, living environment and etc. I add coach reader in every page and giving questions during the children reading the book. I believe questions always can bring students thinking and enforce students' learning process. It gives students opportunities to understand the text content and use their logic to find the clue and answer the questions with support details. This book can use in the class and after class. ELA teacher can use this book in reading writing or science class to give practice on students’ literacy skills. In the class, the teacher can read the book page by page and giving students instruction and let students understand the facts about the polar bears. The teacher can let students answer the questions at the bottom of the pages and give students opportunities discuss what they think. The students can express their opinion and give support detail of their answers. I believe answer the questions is a good way to practice literacy skill for students especially on ELL leaner.  When students answer the questions, it is a process to practice on students speaking skill and enforce students remember the text content and give practice on their reading and writing skills. After class, students can go to the book builder’s link and review what they learned in the class and type the answer on the pages. The teacher can check students work on the book builder to know students learning results.

Week 7 assignment 1 Article reflection

1. Theories and Practices of Multimodal Education: In today’s teaching in the classroom, teacher needs to use multimodal ways to inform students about learning theories and practice. The multimodal theories include Picture books, interaction with peers, gesture, drama, drawing, and ways of incorporating, integrating and extending linguistic signs. The digital media also can be a way to help students in literacy learning. Students can decode and comprehend alphabetic print in conjunction with other socially and culturally shaped forms of representation. As a teacher when we design the class, we are no longer in the path of what we respect students to learn. We are making a lesson plan to reach the teaching goal by understanding students’ background, culture, and needs.   Use multimodal theories in teaching inspires student’s literacy practicing on writing and bring the interest of student’s literacy learning.
