Picture Books in the Secondary Classroom

About a month ago I was harassing folks to come out and support my proposal for Basic Literacy through Picture Books at the Open Innovation Portal (not too late! you can still be an educational activist!). I posted my (obviously) hand-made video here at Teach with Picture Books and also at the English Companion Ning.

Educator extraordinaire Jenna Gardner was kind enough to respond to my video by sharing a Prezi of her own on Picture Books in the Secondary Classroom, and she's allowed me to post it here as well.

Terrific research snippets supporting the use of picture books with the upper grades! Thanks, Jenna.
