Catchy Learning Cottage: Get To Know Your Books

Keeping Kids Creative

Dear Readers,

We have all heard the buzzwords of the knowledge-based economy - creative, innovative, resourceful.We are told that our students will need these abilities, not just facts and figures, to thrive in the workplace of the future. And we,their teachers, need to equip them through creative teaching. Hence, here I try to unravel the nuts and bolts behind these ideas, to find out what creative teaching is all about and how it can be implemented in the classroom.

Join Me and I will appreciate it very much if you sign in my guestbook and leave your comments.

Get To Know Your Books

This gigantic board is actually to introduce a book to the students.What are the important elements which they need to know about a book ,for example :

The Title

The Author

The Publisher

The Illustrator

The Synopsis
( a short account of something longer eg. the story of a film,play,book)
The Blurb
(a short description giving information about a book)

Let us introduce a book to our students first before asking them to read it. Familarizing them with the books will definately instill the love for reading.
