For this reading unit I chose to read the nurseryrhymes. I love all types of writing that
is for children. I think that this type
of writing is creative and really fun to read.
A lot of the nursery rhymes I had heard before and I was excited to turn
a favorite nursery rhyme like, Jack and Jill, or Rock-a-bye-Baby into a
story. However, I ended up choosing one
I hadn’t heard before so it would be new to the readers also. In this unit, I really liked that there were
so many different groups of nursery rhymes.
My favorite group to read was the Love and Matrimony group. These rhymes were not only cute and sweet but
funny as well! A lot of people may think
that writing a story over a nursery rhyme would be hard because they are only a
few sentences long. I liked this aspect
because it gave me a base to go off of and then I got to fill in all the
details of the story with my own ideas!
The nursery rhymes are so versatile and one could come up with so many
different ways to tell a story with them.
The one thing that I did not like about choosing this section was that
the majority of the rhymes did not have a title or a link. I wanted to include several into my reading
diary but decided not to because I did not have an exact title for the
rhyme. There were also a lot of rhymes
included in each section. They were all
very short though, and this made it easy to pick and choose which ones I could
write about. Overall, I would definitely
recommend the nursery rhymes for this unit.
