Green
Written and Illustrated by Laura Vaccaro Seeger
Language Arts
1. Green's simplicity prompts higher level questioning:
Why did the author write this book?
Why did she choose the particular green subjects she chose?
If you were to write a book about a specific color, what would it be? Why?
What do you think prompted the author to choose the words she used?
What other words could she have used?
2. Guided inquiry based on book subjects. Students can research forests, sea turtles, limes or green fruit/vegetables, jungles, caterpillars, etc. This research can be done individually or with a partner or small group. Students can follow up their research by creating a presentation for the class.
3. Students can create a color book of their own using their favorite color. Encourage them to consider cut outs similar to those used in Green as they plan for their books. This can be done in groups or individually. Once their books have been published, arrange for your students to partner with another class or younger grade to share their work. Finally, books can be added to the classroom library for all to share.
