The course shows how to make a curriculum more fun and engaging through the use of picture books.

We will explore picture books to explain literary concepts such as foreshadowing, alliteration, irony, problem-solving, inference, and more.

Picture books to improve emotional health by addressing anger, bullying, anxiety, grief, gender identity, and more.

The second half of the course shifts to using picture books to teach creative writing to demonstrate concepts such as voice, plot, character development, and setting.
