Specifically, include ways to teach or strategies you would use to share each of the books you selected, including how you would present each story in class/circle time (dramatization, puppet play, felt boards, audiovisual equipment, props, etc).

Question C. Reference three scholarly resources (this can include our textbook) when presenting each book selection. Please include a References page.
