For example while reading the story of Curious George the teacher asked the students if they have ever used a telephone before. The student also started listing the Presidents during the lesson to which the teacher responded by asking the students to list some important characteristics necessary for one to become the president of the United States. The students then

of the popular children’s series starring Curious George. What is not so well known about them is why these books and others they have written contain the themes that they do. Margret and H.A. Rey had a very rich and tumultuous life before publishing their first children’s book. Their Jewish heritage during an age of war against Jews and the subsequent escape by bike to safety inspired a lot of George’s narrow escapes from trouble after being too curious. They are husband and wife and also a fully

analyzing picture books helps children to develop an aesthetic awareness. I let a group of fifth graders read and look at Curious George. After reading it, they immediately began to analyze the pictures. They made comments on how the pictures were drawn, saying that they were very “simplistic” and yet they contributed so much to the story.

techniques to explain his theme. At the beginning of the story W.W. Jacob uses foreshadowing that hints at the decision Mr.White will make at the climax of the story. The title “Monkey’s Paw” symbolizes curiosity, due to the fact that monkeys are curious animals . Also, Mr.White's yearning to go to India symbolizes his curiosity about the rest of the world and how he wants to travel to and experience exotic areas. In addition to symbolism, the setting of this story also plays a necessary role in

Goosebumps push their way to the surface of your skin. The magic is working. On either side of you are many rooms. As you drift through the hallway, you peek inside each room. In one, a volunteer reads Curious George to a pack of preschoolers. In another, a university student combs through medical journals for his thesis research. Near the end of the hall, you come across a darkened room with rows and rows of shelves brimming with historical texts. You step

Before we went into her room I stopped in the gift shop to get her a stuffed monkey I spotted on the way in. I entered the hospital room to see my Meemaw, but I could barely recognize her.
