Lesson+Plan

** Picture Book vs. Story Book **

//Think about the books we have read in class, what genre was your favorite to read, what did the author do with the words and pictures to engage you in the text? What type of writing styles did you enjoy?//

The goal of this assignment is to get you thinking about your own compare and contrast research paper, and how you can use these techniques when you write your paper.  After completing this exercise you will have the foundation to be able to write a research paper using compare and contrast, descriptive language, and informational text features. ***Your homework assignment is to brainstorm some topics you can compare and contrast for your research paper.* **
 * Using the internet determine at least __two differences__ between a picture book and a story book
 * Make sure your web sites are **credible!**
 * Complete the hand out for __each source__ that you use.
 * Next, using your results complete the chart below. Make sure you //explain// your choice.
 * Use the example of, //Where the Wild Things Are// to help you get started.
 * After you have completed the chart go to [|wordle] and create an image for both a picture book and story book. Make sure you include the names of the books from the chart you just completed and defining characteristics for each. You will have two different wordle images once you are done.
 * Make sure you **save** all of this information in a safe place!
