- This book was created in Social Studies in the Elementary
Schools, at ASU, to relate a specific theme with the letters of the alphabet.
This ABC book was designed for the first grade classroom, focusing on self
and neighborhood. Each page of the book presents a letter of the
alphabet with a picture that corresponds to something relating to their
personal life. Students would be asked to create a book that illustrates
their lives using the book I made as a model.
The ABC book is a good method to help the younger students with their letters and helps them to decide what is important in their lives. This book illustrates different aspects of the Social Studies curriculum in the first grade, such as: self, community, and family. Students will have a tangible item that reflects what they are learning.
Students will be using media and technology to create
these books. The ABC book can be created by using photographs, drawings,
computer programs, and pictures from magazines. By having students
use these different forms of media and technology, Competency 12.7
is fulfilled.
