Mock Caldecott
In January after careful consideration of the illustrations of thousands of picture books, the American Library Association will announce the winners of the Caldecott Award for 2008. Here at Pashley we have our own Caldecott judges entering voting booths to mark their ballots with sparkly silver and gold markers. As they visit the library each week our second graders evaluate the illustrations in a picture book on their Mock Caldecott ballot. We discuss how the pictures help tell the story or how the illustrator might have used a different art technique. Lastly, we check the copyright date. Only books made in 2007 can be eligible for the ballot. A picture slideshow below shows our voters in action. [bubbleshare 280828.caeefb959c5]
