First Readings of Literature



Name:    Huda Sultan                                                 Date:  19/9/2012                             


Source Number: (1)



Reference (APA):
·         Eliason, C. & Jenkins, L. (2008). A Practical Guide to Early Childhood Curriculum. New Jersey: Pearson Merrill/Prentice Hall
Summary:

This book include one section about creative art and how to use it in early childhood learning.  In addition,  the book includes different strategies of how to use creative art in the classroom also there are  different definitions for it from different researchers.
The book also includes the advantages and the benefits of using creative art for learning.

Evaluation:  (connected to Questions 1 to 5 above)


I think this book is useful. Most of the quote are useful and meaningful and I think I will use them and they shows the author opinion about using creative art.  It is easy to read and understand and there are many other people or researchers opinion about the topic in this book.


Notes (could include specific quotes)


“ creativity is the ability to invent or make something new, using one’s own skills without the specific use of patterns or models’(Mitchell as cited in Eliason&Jenkins. 2008. P.375).

I think this quote could be useful as definition for creative art.

Introduction

My name is Huda, I'm 22 years old from the UAE.  I am studying in AL Ain Women and this is my final year. For this year I am doing a big research about a topic that I need to choose and to apply it in the schools.
 I think this year is very important I need to improve my teaching strategies because I will not have the chance to  practice teaching after this year. I have several goals such as getting ILTES band 6.5 and to expand my GPA to be 3 also I want to improve my English and to feel the happens when I will finish my 6000 words research.
