Rediscovering Children's Literature

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

Students, while analyzing children's literature works as a vehicle for a multitude of insights, practice analytical reading and writing scenarios about older adults. In retrospect, they read books aloud to young children as well as write their own children's story involving aging and intergenerational relationships.
