**Assignment 1 – 1 ½ pages**

For most of us, our first experience with narrative began with stories told to us by adults, sometimes a parent or grandparent, or a babysitter or other caregiver. A storyteller is someone whose tale makes a lasting impression. Can you remember a story that you heard as a child that had a lasting effect on you? What do you think you learned from your childhood experience with storytellers?

Assignment 2 – 1 ½ pages

10 picture books you read from the
[Baldwin Library of Historical Children's Literature](https://ufdc.ufl.edu/collections/juv) when you searched for "picture books."

Initial posts should be two paragraphs:

1. Briefly identify the ten works you selected and describe and summarize in more depth
**three** of the works.

2. For the three works, discuss what a child was supposed to learn in his or her reading of each work. This lesson is the explicit message of the text, but are there implicit messages?

Assignment 3 – 3 pages

This essay is based on the one book for beginning readers that you chose to read:

·
_Goodnight Moon_ by Margaret Wise Brown

_Very Hungry Caterpillar_ by Eric Carle

**this book contributes to the development of a child reader**.

Make specific references to your book, considering the following in order to analyze the way the book contributes to the development of a child reader:

· any elements in the story that are not found in the illustration, and vice versa, if applicable

· whether the text and/or images appropriately represent multicultural and social values

· visual or textual clues that may encourage non-readers or support learning and/or social development

· Number your figures and insert captions: see
[MLA Tables, Figures, and Examples at the Purdue Online Writing Center](https://owl.purdue.edu/owl/research_and_citation/mla_style/mla_formatting_and_style_guide/mla_tables_figures_and_examples.html).
