Summary: |
|||||||||
| The author-illustrator creates stunning collages of Chinese characters and the Western symbol for the heart. The text reflects on the wisdom expressed by the components of the ideogram. | |||||||||
Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| Students may want to choose a favorite ideogram and write more about it, perhaps a story to illustrate the idea. Teachers could pair this book with Samoyault's Give Me A Sign to study the relationship between symbol and meaning. If a Chinese speaker is available to write other ideograms, students could create their own collage and reflections or interpretations of the components. Students might also enjoy trying their hand at Chinese calligraphy using the website below. The book joins a growing text set on collage that may interest art-minded students. The book also serves as an introduction to a study of China. web site: www.newton.mec.edu/Angier/DimSum/Chinese%20Calligraphy%20Lesson.html | |||||||||
