Hello again!
Well I'm getting some of these blogs knocked out today! I'm so proud of myself. I really do loves this class and I'm so mad at myself for falling behind with my blogs. However, I am making progress. Here is chapter nine.

Nonfiction
This chapter was interesting. I learned a few things that I did not know before. Who knew that there was so much to learn about nonfiction. I enjoyed reading the teachers perspective. "Teachers who use nonfiction as supplements or alternatives to textbooks in science and social studies find that their students become much more enthusiastic about the content". I never looked at it that way before. I guess that would be true because of the bright pictures, clear captions, maps and diagrams. I only know that from reading over the power point.
I never liked nonfiction books. I think that's because it reminds me of homework. These are the types of books that you go to for information. I know that sounds horrible since my future profession is in teaching. However, now that I am older and have been in school for some time, I have become more appreciative of a good text book. A book where the pictures are helpful and the content is done in a clear and easy way to read and follow.
I also believe that a good nonfiction book makes teaching easier and learning more productive.
Nonfiction books play a huge role in our schools. We need them in the classroom and the children really do enjoy them. Now I have a new appreciation for them too. This was a great chapter.

The reason why I choose this next author is really because of the movie that just came out. I knew that "Where the Wild Things Are" was a big hit and I remember seeing the cover of the book. However, I never read the story. Well I finally did and I must say that I was not disappointed. The book really delivered as far as story telling goes and my son loved it as well. I will defiantly have to see the movie!

This new web page was not that great to me at all. It was very plain and had lots of information. It wasn't really targeted towards kids. I know that my son would not enjoy this one as he would others that I came across. I picked the author because I remember hearing about this book from a friend. The books are older and the illustration it very "Old timey". These story's are meant for very small children.

The website was set up nicely. The author has written a lot of books. Some of books are even in Spanish. I noticed that most of the books are written about animals. The site included the authors back ground story, things for school, her manuscript and a point of contact. Over all the site was one of the nicer ones I have visited.
