I teach children's literature at Wayne State (currently teaching LIS
6520 Children's literature for grades 4-8) online and use the
organization you describe to teach the course: I break it up by genres.
Older versions of the LIS 6510 Children's literature for preschool
through grade three should still be available on Blackboard and you can
login as a guest. (Or at least you should be able to.) This is the
full link:

752_1%26url%3d Look for Winter 2006, the combined section. Go to the
Discussion Board and you should see all kinds of books and lesson plans
by genre.

Subject: TAR: using picture books to teach genres
Dear LM_Netters,
I would like start a unit on genres (realistic fiction, historical
fiction,
fantasy, science fiction, mystery) with my 4th and 5th graders and would
like to read a picture book as an example of the genre then follow up
with
booktalks on chapter books of the genre. I know examples of chapter
books
and can find lists of those for each particular genre. However, I am
having
trouble coming up with picture books as an example of a genre.
Thus far, I've thought of these:
*Realistic fiction:* *Thank You Mr. Falker*
*Historical fiction:* picture book versions of *Little House on the
Prairie, Pink and Say, Goin' Someplace Special, Henry's Freedom Box*
*Science fiction:* * Hedgie Blasts Off? , Commander Toad books, Zathura*
**
*Fantasy: **Jumanji? *(would like to have some high fantasy picture
books
but can't think of any)
*Mystery:* *The Missing Mitten Mystery, Mysteries of Harris Burdick,
Piggins
*
**
I've searched the archives, internet, and Titlewave without much luck so
I'm
turning to this wonderful list for help. Would you please send
suggestions? I will post a HIT if there's interest. Thanks in advance
for
your help.
Melissa
