Observation Skills
Resource Materials:
Banyai, Istvan. Zoom.
Discussion:
Within Zoom the reader is trying to figure out what picture is coming up next on the next page, or to remember where it came from on the previous page. This is a good book for children to build upon their observation skills and memory.
How to teach it:
A good way to teach observation skills is to have the class review the book and explain to them what is happening on each of the pages. Discussion should take place on how the picture keeps zooming out until it finally shows the whole Earth. What I would do is replicate the book on a much smaller scale by taking close-up pictures of something in the classroom and then expanding out for 3-4 pictures to see if the class can guess what is coming up in the next frame. After they have accomplished the classroom photograph, we would move to another project that involves the school as a whole.
