solved In this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of narrative
In this assignment, you will demonstrate your knowledge of narrative theory, competencies, and literacy with reference to course readings. Choose at least one reading each for Units 4, 5, and 6, plus at least one other reading chosen from Units 1 to 3 that you did not discuss in Assignment 1.
Apply narrative theory to explain some aspect(s) of narrative in texts written or produced for or by children. For instance, you might discuss story grammar, inference, and structure-based approaches, or assessment of narrative competencies, strategies, and behaviours that help people to process narrative across different media. This should be addressed in at least one third to one half of your paper. Then apply the theoretical concepts that you have chosen in exploring the following options, which you should specify in your title or in a subtitle.
Information Book Lesson Plan
Using the criteria for judging information books outlined in the course readings, consider three information books on one topic that include visual images for children. Write a background rationale for your choice of one or two of these books as resources for a lesson plan. Comment on the complex relationship between words and pictures. How well do the books incorporate narrative to inform children? What static visual components and narrative strategies are involved, and what methodologies would you use to analyze them? How and why would these books be suitable to use to develop narrative competencies and/or cognitive and affective abilities? What strategies and behaviours would you expect in narrative processing activities?
