Baby Mouse: Our Hero, by Jennifer & Matthew Holm
Discussion
Comic books and picture books are fun ways for children to use their imagination. I think that is it important for children to use their imagination as much as possible. Babymouse in particular, is very humorus and I think that students will be able to relate to her character.
How To Teach It
After reading Babymouse, I will ask children to share their thoughts about the book. I will then put them with a partner and have them develop their own character and storyline. They will write out their story line and draw a picture of their character to turn into me. After, editing their stories (if necessary) I will have them get back into their groups and provide them with a blank booklet. Next, they will create their own mini comic book using the provided book. They will use the story line and character they created to write and illustrate their book.
