Guest Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Hi there, Give me a non fiction or fiction book and i feel fine but give me a poetry book as a shared text for Literacy and i have little panic to myself - not sure why just on of those things. I am doing an Under the sea topic and am trying to tie everything into it. Has any ones used Comotion in the Ocean and what type of writing and activities did you get from it? Thanks Sarah
Sue R Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Fantastic book!! We started by simply enjoying the sounds and rhythms and it all kind of took off from there, when I first used it! You can literally take it as far as the children want to, which is sometimes a loooong way! Writing, rhyming, singing, chanting, dancing - go for it! Sue (probably more as well! Feeling a bit delicate after a very hot day when the Central heating went bonkers and boiled us all!!!)
Guest Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 Author is Giles Andreae (I think that's right), who is actually better known as Purple Ronnie. My kids loved it, and had me read it over and over and over. There's a dinosaur one too and also Rumble in the Jungle.
Sue R Posted May 31, 2005 Posted May 31, 2005 What?? Pants is Purple Ronnie!!!! Well, I suppose that figures............... Sue
