Bulletin Board Idea


This is a reading bulletin board idea that I came up with for my Literacy and the Young Child course. On the left side of the bulletin board will be a picture of the chapter book that is the current class read aloud. Underneath the picture is a place for summary cards. These summary cards would serve as a reference for students if they want to refresh their memory about what is happening in the story. These would be written as a class after each chapter in the book. In the middle are thinking questions for the students to think about as we read the book. The questions are : "What caused...?"; "Why is...?"; "Why did...?"; "What if....?"; "Why do you think...?"; "How did...?"; "What would happen if...?"; and "What might...?". On the right side of the bulletin board is a place for students to put their questions that they have about the book we are reading. Each day we would go over the students questions and have a class discussion.
