Book Synopsis Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean: Remembering Chinese Scientist Pu Zhelong's Work for Sustainable Farming by : Sigrid Schmalzer
Download or read book Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean: Remembering Chinese Scientist Pu Zhelong's Work for Sustainable Farming written by Sigrid Schmalzer and published by Tilbury House Publishers and Cadent Publishing. This book was released on 2018-02-06 with total page 42 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Winner of The Sigurd F. Olson Nature Writing Award Selected for the CCBC Choices 2019 list Children's Literature Freeman Award 2018 A Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People 2019 Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean tells its story through the memories of a farm boy who, inspired by Pu Zhelong, became a scientist himself. The narrator is a composite of people Pu Zhelong influenced in his work. With further context from Melanie Chan’s historically precise watercolors, this story will immerse young readers in Chinese culture, the natural history of insects, and the use of biological controls in farming. Backmatter provides context and background for this lovely, sophisticated picture book about nature, science, and Communist China. “The first time I saw a scientist in my village was also the first time I saw a wasp hatch out of a moth’s egg,” writes the narrator of this picture book about Chinese scientist Pu Zhelong. “In that moment I could not have said which was the more unexpected—or the more miraculous.” In the early 1960s, while Rachel Carson was writing and defending Silent Spring in the U.S., Pu Zhelong was teaching peasants in Mao Zedong’s Communist China how to forgo pesticides and instead use parasitic wasps to control the moths that were decimating crops and contributing to China’s widespread famine. This story told through the memories of a farm boy (a composite of people inspired by Pu Zhelong) will immerse young readers in Chinese culture, the natural history of insects, and sustainable agriculture. Backmatter provides historical context for this lovely, sophisticated picture book. The author, Sigrid Schmalzer, won the Joseph Levenson Post-1900 Book Prize for 2018 for her book Red Revolution, Green Revolution. This is the most prestigious prize for a book about Chinese history, and the book upon which Moth and Wasp, Soil and Ocean is based. Fountas & Pinnell Level U

Book Synopsis Teaching Climate Change to Children by : Rebecca Woodard
Download or read book Teaching Climate Change to Children written by Rebecca Woodard and published by Teachers College Press. This book was released on 2024-03-22 with total page 122 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Teaching Climate Change to Children describes the journey of two literacy researchers to learn about climate change and support relevant literacy pedagogy for young children (pre-K–6). The authors argue that climate change and social justice are inextricable from each other; that children in the younger grades are capable of learning about climate change; and that reading, writing, and language study is well-suited to this work. Three anchoring themes are offered to support literacy climate pedagogy—interconnectivity, relationality, and action—with rich classroom examples and different entry points to engage with these themes, either by “starting small” or “going big.” The text includes chapters on the importance of taking an emotionally affirming stance and on the potential of incorporating arts-based methods. With love for the Earth and one another at its core, this accessible book takes a broad view of what it means to cultivate sustainable futures for our planet, for teachers, and for children in today’s schools. Book Features: A unique focus on teaching about climate change to young children, as opposed to adolescents. Insights drawn from a yearlong teacher inquiry group with classroom teachers and from literacy methods courses with preservice teachers. Explicit attention to the importance of humanizing and care-based practices in literacy climate pedagogy. Classroom examples collected across four urban public schools where teachers used the activities and resources discussed in the book. User-friendly textboxes with suggestions and questions to guide discussion, reflection, and action.
