Visual thinking strategies for preschool : using art to enhance literacy and social skills / by Yenawine, Philip,author.(CARDINAL)335201;
Includes bibliographical references and index.VTS for preschool: what does it look like? -- Key elements of VTS discussions -- Adapting VTS for other lessons -- VTS impact on children: charting evidence of growth -- VTS and teachers: what do teachers tell us? -- Dedicated to wonder: keeping preschool child centered."Visual Thinking Strategies for Preschool" shows how teachers can add visual thinking strategies (VTS) to their existing curriculum to encourage language, critical thinking, and social skills for children ages three to five. In this sequel to his popular book, "Visual Thinking Strategies," author Philip Yenawine describes using art and other visual experiences to create engaging and powerful learner-centered environments for young children just beginning their formal school experience. First introduced in 1991 and implemented in hundreds of schools, districts, and cultural institutions, the VTS teaching method features an open-ended conversation about a selected work of art. Teachers facilitate the group conversation using simple questions: "What's going on in this picture?," "What do you see that makes you think that?," and "What more can we find?" The book provides transcripts and analysis of classroom conversations as a means of illustrating the range of ways VTS can be used with preschoolers. Drawing on interviews with preschool teachers from public, private, and charter schools from around the country, Yenawine highlights the benefits of these discussions for students, including English language learners and students with special needs. "Visual Thinking Strategies for Preschool" provides teachers with another means to teach language and social skills, and introduces students to the treasures found in art.--

Nim Chimpsky : the chimp who would be human / by Hess, Elizabeth.(CARDINAL)747383;
Includes bibliographical references (pages 353-356) and index.Could a chimpanzee raised from infancy by a human family bridge the gap between species--and change the way we think about the boundaries between animal and human? Here is the strange and moving account of an experiment intended to answer these questions, and of the chimp who was chosen to see it through. Columbia University psychologist Herbert S. Terrace's goal was to teach a chimpanzee American Sign Language in order to refute Noam Chomsky's assertion that language is an exclusively human trait. Nim Chimpsky, the baby chimp, was "adopted" by a graduate student. At first his progress exceeded all expectations--his charm and mischievous sense of humor endeared him to everyone. But no one had thought through the long-term consequences of raising a chimp in the human world. Nim's story will move and entertain at the same time that it challenges us to ask what it means to be human.--From publisher description.
