So this post is a little late for this year, but the idea is what counts :) Our grade level lends itself very well to using GLAD pictorials. I use them all the time! I just wish I could trace lightly enough so that my kids were actually tripped, but alas. The new thing for me is that last year I was introduced to having students create their own pictorials based on the teacher's. I tried it this year with the important historical figures we have been learning about and I was soooo impressed with the results! Mainly students copied my example, but they did such a good job and it really helped them review and choose the things they remembered to write in their pictorials. Here are a few examples, some unfinished, of Martin Luther King Jr. and Harriet Tubman. We are in the process of putting them all together to form a book for each child. I'll let you know how they turn out. Aren't they so cute??!
