This book has lots of cross curricular links for example geography and learning about climate change or art where the children draw their own view from their window.

Window – Jeannie Baker

It would be really interesting to see how different children interpret the illustrations differently.

This book could therefore also be a great tool for linking literacy to other areas of the curriculum such as geography. They will then giveexamples of how both Jeannie Baker and the student incorporated the particularelements of shape, colour and/or texture into the artworks.

Weekly Plan for Year 3: 01-06-2020

I enjoy the continual challenges this medium gives me to invent techniques and explore and experiment with materials and their textures. There are many potential uses for this book in a classroom and it could easily be engaged with across the curriculum. But this book leaves me feeling depressed and impotent - not inspired to take actions to reduce my impact on the environment.Stephen's articulates three ideological perspectives which are the most common approaches to dealing with ecological issues in children's literature; the positioning of human subjectivity as outside of nature; the assumption that 'a represented landscape must include humans to perceive it and operate as a site of some kind of narrative'; and the representation of nature as 'endangered' and reliant upon human intervention and appropriate management (41). We see that in the context of strikingly different lifestyles, remotely different countries, landscapes, differences of clothing and all, the families are essentially the same. The intendedparticipants for this learning experience will be primary schoolchildren who are in the year level of grade 3 and 4. There is an author’s note at the end, even though this story is fictional, about how wilderness is disappearing and how humans are impacting the planet.

Use the window frame template to draw the image that you can see from a window in your home / school today (see Resources below). I would suggest colouring the wall and the window frame a light colour so that they do not distract from the main subject. Others include The Snow Queen, The Lady of Shalott, Alice Through the Looking Glass and Anthony Browne’s Through the Magic Mirror. Among them is Where The Forest Meets the Sea (about the Daintree Rainforest), a Boston Globe-Horn Honour Book, and the recipient of an International Board of Books for Young People (IBBY) Honour Award and a Friends of the Earth Award in Great Britain.Choose one of the images and create a plan view map showing the places that you can see through the window.
