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?

Look into wordless picture book: Hot air: the (mostly) true story of the first hot air balloon ride.

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.

Just because your students are processing visually doesn't mean its not worthwhile, not academic, not rigorous."

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.

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.

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.

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.

Students get to analyze books, work in pairs or groups and classify books by their genres.
