Assignment Description

This assignment requires you to complete five (5) different resource file entries that you will then compile and submit at the end of the course (see Course Calendar for due date) in one Word document. Each entry should be 1-1.5 pages in length and should adhere to the format presented in the Sample Resource File.Â

You will create a resource file for each type of book below:

1.ABC

As you read and select a book for each entry, think about the scaffolded learning approach, what children would enjoy, and how they could be drawn into a deeper appreciation of the characters, plot, illustrations, or language.

For each book that you select, indicate the type of book being considered and write the bookâ€™s publishing information in APA format at the top of the page. Use the headings below, and comment in your own words, and in full sentences, on the following elements:

1.Plot
2.Characters
3.Illustrations
4.Language
