Much of what we become is shaped by the ideas were exposed to and the relationships of which were a part. There stronger those foundations are from childhood, the better equipped we are to understand the people with whom we interact and the world around us. Childrens books are the tools that help us open the door to a childs natural curiosity, creativity and desire to connect, and are one of our strongest hopes for a great future. Mark will give us a taste of childhood creativity.

What does it mean when my teacher wants me to annotate childrens books?

June 202010

The paper said they have to be my annotations not any off the web, I don’t know what to do.

Well, you could start by asking your teacher.

Annotations are notes on something explaining it further. So in an annotated bibliography, there is a few sentences under each source saying what it is or how it was used. My guess is your teacher wants you to explain each page of the book (or chapter or something, if it’s a longer book), analyzing it–maybe explaining how the illustrations add to the story?
