Just wanted to share I went to the local used bookstore to browse last night. I noticed I was attracted to books with good pictures, but when I went to read to do the living book test as Sonya taught in a conference I recently attended, many of those books were so dry and fact based. I went back to the shelf and took down some older looking books with black outline drawings that I had skipped over before. Not all of the older looking books were good, but I would have missed out on a lot of great ones just by judging the book by good pictures as I would have before. I was pleased I was able to tell the difference in living books and non living books on my own and did not have to depend on someone else’s list. Thank you, Sonya! I found some great books for great prices pabout Pilgrims, pocohontas, Annie Oakley, Colonial America, etc. Thanks!
She had a few examples of passages about the same subject for us to read and we were able to easily see the difference between living books and twaddle.
You can download the handout with those examples if they would be helpful. They’re from the Learning with Living Books workshop. A lot of the concepts are covered in the Books & Things Seminar, but I used different examples in the workshop.
andream, I’m so glad the workshop was helpful! You’ll be an expert mango-picker in no time!
