She came up with this:<br /><br /><br /><br />I definitely think they should aim for a poster directed at younger children.<br /> <br />With younger children, connections (linking the lesson) to literature (good children's books) is super helpful. I think children in the primary grades (K- gr. 3 ... aged 5-9 years) could be easily presented with philosophy and engaged in the discussion if you start with some good children's literature that they can relate to.<br /> <br />Here are some examples:<br />Discussion questions for doing Philosophy using Children's literature:<br />http://depts.washington.edu/nwcenter/lessonsplansdiscussquestions.html<br /> <br />Another book with examples of young children exploring philosophical questions:<br />Dialogues with Children (Cambridge, Massachusetts: Harvard University Press, 1984). This author wrote his own 'stories' that engaged children in discussion of various philosophical topics (actually, he would write the beginning of the story and then as a group the children would offer ideas for the 'ending' of the story).<br /> <br />For older children, topics of a more involved / serious nature such as the holocaust offer topics for philosophical discussion:<br />http://depts.washington.edu/nwcenter/lessonsplansholocaust.html<br /><br />Maybe the direction they need to go is to develop two or three different posters, each aimed at a different age of children. The questions discussed in each poster would, of course, be age dependent.<br /> <br />I would maybe develop different posters for:<br /> <br />K - gr. 3<br /> <br />gr. 4-6<br /> <br />gr. 7-12<br /> <br />Perhaps on one side have the cartoon-type 'Philosophy files' but on the other side have some examples and illustrations of discussion topics (maybe a picture of the book (children's literature) in the example for younger children).<br /> <br />If they could include with the poster (develop along with the poster) a short 'lesson' plan (example) that would really draw teacher in as well. Teachers like to have those resources and links handy for sure. <br /> <br />Hope that helps!<br /> <br />Sandra :)Daverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12242098753024876417noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-63179584696764605542012-01-25T05:42:01.980+00:002012-01-25T05:42:01.980+00:00Would the cover design of Philosophy for Teens <...Would the cover design of Philosophy for Teens <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Philosophy-Teens-Questioning-Lifes-Ideas/dp/1593632029/ref=sr_1_5?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid=1327469434&sr=1-5”</a> (3 books by Sharon Kaye) be helpful?Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801470126697483229noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1905686568472747305.post-33996019083357437312012-01-25T05:40:27.826+00:002012-01-25T05:40:27.826+00:00This comment has been removed by the author.Nigelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04801470126697483229noreply@blogger.com
