“The Arrival” in the classroom
Friday, September 28th, 2007
The fourth grade classroom of Educating Alice‘s Monica Edinger sure is lucky to have such an inspiring and committed teacher. Immigration is their year’s theme, so she is working with students on different projects using Shaun Tan‘s magnificent, wordless book The Arrival. She has been documenting the experience on Educating Alice and her classblog, featuring comments, podcasts, and photos.
Enjoy, vicariously, the loads of learning and fun they are concocting, or get ideas for how to use the book in your own classroom. They will be working with The Arrival for at least another week, so make sure to check her “In the Classroom” updates.
