Assignment+1

Part 1: Part 2: a.The title "Books take you out of this world!" will provoke interest for a number of reasons. Children, reluctant readers in particular, can view reading as a slow, tedious chore they are required to do. This theme, on the other hand, categorizes book as a means of transportation to new, exciting adventures. It also capitalizes on children's interest in outer space. Teachers may be interested in this theme as a good fit for collaboration on science lessons. b.My audience is elementary school students, teachers, and parents looking for avenues to promote reading among their children. c. This bulletin board could be displayed outside the library media center to welcome children to what they can anticipate will be an exciting place. It could be displayed in the library alongside space themed books. I could also see it displayed alongside charts promoting a "star reader" program. This is a bulletin board that could be displayed all year long. d. I am trying to convey the message that books offer the reader infinite possibilities to explore. I expect this message to excite children to the prospect of finding new worlds of adventure in books. Children will likely have questions about the construction of the bulletin board since it has twinkling lights. I expect they will also ask about the planets featured. I intentionally placed them in the right order from earth to provide an accurate science lesson. I hope they also ask, "how can books take you out of this world?" so I can explain and give them exciting book suggestions. This bulletin boad will illuminte information literacy by sparking questions and excitement among students and ideas for collaboration among teachers. e. Coming up with an idea for the bulletin board was easy for me. Since I'm not artistic, actually creating the bulletin board was difficult. I learned that all the resources are out there. There's no need to draw things by hand. Why reinvent the wheel?

Part 3: I designed this bulletin board with elementary students in mind. The space theme will surely attract boys. If the space theme doesn’t attract girls, the sparkle in the design will. Plus, what child can resist twinkling lights? I chose the theme “Books take you out of this world!” because I want students to view the library media center as an exciting place, a place they can find books that will transport them on adventures beyond their wildest dreams. The theme will also promote collaboration with teachers on science projects. Another way to promote reading among students is a “star reader” program. Students are encouraged to keep a reading log and receive sticker stars on a chart to mark their progress. When they achieve a goal, they’re awarded a “star reader” certificate. I can imagine this bulletin board standing beside those charts attracting students to track their progress and read more books.
