Description
Children’s illustrated books inspire middle school gifted learners to explore their world from an artistic and thematic perspective. This session shares an extraordinary collection of books that investigates the theme Wisdom Across Cultures. Divided into six specific types of Wisdom - appreciative, discerning, behavioral, communal, transcendent, and ethical, these 50 books encourage gifted learners to consider their world and themselves at a deeper level. A curricular grid of teaching ideas using the Williams Model, live music, and handouts containing the list of books are provided.
No items are available for this session.
