My children’s lit class is probably the most unexpectedly fun class I’ve had. When I first got the syllabus I thought for sure I’d drown in all the readings, even if they weren’t specifically hard (and they aren’t hard books).
My final project is a diversity project, where we are to chose children’s books to read that have something to do with diversity. This can be race, gender, disability, identity, family, culture, etc. Originally I had thought of doing something with ASD (Asperger’s Syndrome…a high functioning form of Autism that one of the twins has). But something struck me as I was going through book lists…perhaps I should simply do something on twins themselves. They often struggle with identity…at least it’s something I see in mine, being identical twins. I was very surprised by how many children’s books I found on the subject. I am looking very forward to seeing how this comes together.
The final for this class requires a creaticve project for this diversity project. Something like a story, or lesson plan or quilt. My first thought was to do a scrapbook. But I’d LOVE to do a “Day in the life” movie. I don’t know if that’s even possible, but I’m exploring the possibilities of that. I just think it would be a neat idea to follow the twins around for a day and then have them narrate the movie. Has anyone ever done something like this before? Any pointers?
