CORRECTED HIT: picture books to teach elements of fiction

[Ellen Heath <Ellheath@AOL.COM>]

Oh, NO!  I somehow sent a partially written hit.  So sorry to clutter your
mailbox.

Wow!  Lots of ideas, sources and titles.

1.  Elements that may be taught beyond character, setting, plot and change:
         metaphor, simile, point of view, personification, theme, tone,
alliteration, and
            onomatopoeia, foreshadowing

2.  Professional sources
        Using Picture Books To Teach Literary Devices (Hall) (Oryx Press)
        Teaching Story Elements With Favorite Books (Scholastic)
        Worth a Thousand Words: an Annotated Guide to Picture Books for Older
            Readers by Bette D. Ammon and Gale Sherman. ISBN 1-56308-390-6.
        Picture Books by Ruth Calhum
        Creating Writers by Vickie Spandel

3.  Titles:
       Aunt Isabel Tells a Good One (Duke) (suggested by many for all
elements)
       Aunt Isabel Makes Trouble (Duke) (conflict)
       Two Is a Team (Beim) (beginning, middle, climax, end)
       Thy Friend, Obadiah (Turkle)
       Make Mulligan and His Steam Shovel (Burton)
       The Gang and Mrs. Higgins (Shannon) (setting)
       Where the Wild Things Are (Sendak) (foreshadowing)
