1. Your personal response to the book
ReplyDeleteInformation on all of the significant objects which make up our Milky Way universe is set in a poetic from. I love this base on the fact that I can use it in my Reading/Writing Resource class to teach my reading and writing skills, while teaching them content area material in a fun way- the universe is every place, including all the e m p t y space. It’s every star and galaxy, all objects of astronomy……..
2. What genre you think it might be and why
It a poetic book about our universe. The poems in this book are of different types ranging from Free Verse, limerick and concrete where there are verses with and without rhymes.
3. Evaluate its literary quality
What is going for this book is it visual appeal to readers. Therefore, in some of the poems the font style and layout of the text on the paper reflects the object the writer wrote about- galaxy poem is set in a spiral motion. The poems in this book language have some amount of rhythm and rhyme.
4. Evaluate its illustrations
Its illustrations have a lot of additional information that is not in the text- what we would call asides. Colours of the pictures are vibrant or cool depending on which object of the universe the writer was writing about.
5. Discuss for whom the book is intended and the ways in which it might be used in the classroom
I think is book is suitable for a grade four class and can be used to teach students about our universe.
