Dr. Jennifer Montgomery’s Literacy 420 class visited the ERC to learn about booktalks and selecting children’s literature across the curriculum. Groups of students “booktalked” children’s fiction and nonfiction books about fossils, holidays, dogs, and Thanksgiving, utilizing a variety of books, multimedia, and educational manipulatives in their presentations.
Dr. Montgomery’s students also participated in the ERC’s Banned Books Week celebration!
As part of the many commemorative events in September, literacy students viewed the ERC’s “America Rebuilds” exhibit of 9/11 personal remembrances and titles from the ERC collection about 9/11.
