This is a great idea. I think I will enlist parents to send boxes. This will give students opportunities to see different boxes of cereals.  It will also give them chances to see if they would be interested in that cereal based on what they see on the box. Is it enticing enough to want to try? Trini

Telling the story and possibly comparing it to my grandmother's life.  Not sure how to fill in the gaps, but trying to add some non-fiction and fiction to the story.  Concrete experiences are important in accomplishing the goal of explaining historical fiction. Look into wordless picture book: Hot air: the (mostly) true story of the first hot air balloon ride. Trini

We live in a print rich environment and having students look closer at the images they see every day is bringing the text to world connections.  It makes them think beyond what they see to begin thinking about thinking what they see.  Trini

The mixing of nonfiction, the parts that are true, with fiction, the parts the mind invents.

The use of book jackets  to introduce or discuss genre is a really good idea. Have the students pair/share the book jackets noticing the text and illustrations to decide on a genre. The students will look at the back of the cover as well, the teaser blurb on the front inside flap, and from the author and illustrator bios on the back inside flap. Then the pair will share their decision on the genre with the class. The class will decide whether they agree or disagree.

Historical fiction is the combination between nonfiction, those events that are true, with fiction, events or ideas that are made up.

I think the idea of book jackets in the classroom to let the students discover what genre they think the book is. It gives the students the responsibility to give evidence of why they think a certain book is a genre. The students work in pairs looking at the illustrations, front and back covers, and the title.

I think incorporating the cereal boxes idea into image reading is a great idea. It brings an everyday object that students see into a lesson and relates it to their real world. Every student may see something different or an image may make every student feel something different. I think this an engaging and fun activity to incorporate into the classroom.

There are pictures/images all around us in the world; we cannot escape them. Students can understand a lot from one picture or image. Image reading is a different type of reading, but it is still reading. It is important to teach students to look closely at pictures/images to see what the image is really trying to tell them. The quote "a picture is worth a thousand words" is very true.

A good way to bring art to the classroom is by using an old calendar. Your students can look at and discuss the art. Ken Zylla is a good artist for studying various images. You can browse Google Images for his work. The key is taking the time to really study the images and allow students to talk about the images. Most of the time the artist is telling a story through his or her art. Mary Shelton

Combining fiction and non-fiction. Even that are true and events that are made up.

I will definitely implement book jackets in the classroom, I believe students will put more effort in their learning and will be more engaging with the book jackets. Students get to analyze books, work in pairs or groups and classify books by their genres.

I love the way they are combining fiction and non-fiction and making them almost one!

Really liked the book jacket idea.  We almost do that in LLI and see if we can tell the genre by just looking at the back cover and the front cover.

I want to incorporate cereal boxes into my class.  So I can see what the students are thinking as they are viewing the images.

I like the way historical fiction teases us to investigate on our own. It causes us to have questions that we would like to have answered. It covers content in an entertaining way. Pinchback

Using songs - Students listen to the songs and infer what is happening and draw. Then read a book about the song. Students view the book and compare their illustrations to the book. Pinchback

Students are already acquainted with image reading! They read the faces of adults around them to determine mood, etc. There are many everyday objects that avail themselves to image reading. Pinchback

I like where the students create a title for the image. They must infer in order to do this. I also like the image-of-the-week. Pinchback

Images and design helps deepen the thinking. The interpretation of images and desgins allows for ambiguity and multiple interpretations, which results in higher levels of thinking.
