Activity 14.1: Using Children’s Literature to Teach about Grief and Loss
(INTASC Principles 2 and 8)
Purpose: Teachers often say that the demands of standardized testing are so high that it is difficult to find time in the curriculum for non-tested subjects such as health. One way to continue to make health a part of the curriculum is through integration. Children’s literature is an excellent opportunity to help students develop critical language skills while at the same time making critical health connections. The purpose of this activity is to give you the opportunity to teach health education through literature.
Activity: Choose one children’s literature book; for ideas, refer to those listed in your text (a combined listing of all the books in the text can be found on this website). Review the book and identify the health message contained in the story. Develop a learning activity that supports the health message of the book and actively engages students in further learning about the selected topic.
Artifact: Prepare a handout in a user-friendly format (with your reflection attached) that could be distributed to other teachers. Include the following information about the book you reviewed:
Title
Author
Description of the story
The developmental appropriateness of the book (with a rationale)
The health message contained in the book
Any potential concerns you might have about using this book in your classroom
The national or state health education standard performance indicator or benchmark being addressed
A thorough description of an interactive, hands-on learning activity that reinforces the health message
A section on how you could modify the learning activity for ESL students
Reflection: What did you learn from this activity? How realistic is it for you to integrate health instruction into other subject areas? Do you believe it is possible for instruction to be as effective when integrated into other subject areas as it is when taught as its own subject? What are some issues you need to consider when modifying lessons for learners with diverse needs? Support your responses.
