What educators are saying

A through way to explore and dive into a Caldecott unit with students. A few parts were a bit over the heads of my 4th graders but as I am a first year librarian, the skills they are building will help it make sense next time.

Digital Activities

  • Editable PowerPoint Introduction
  • Editable Google Slides Introduction
  • Reading comprehension slide with 4 questions to check for comprehension. Students will need to add text boxes to answer.
  • Mock Caldecott ballot
    • Students will use the slides to give their opinion on the books you have chosen for the mock Caldecott. There are 5 slides. Each slide is identical, with just different color scheme.
    • There is a slide for students to enter the scores they gave for each book. The last slide is a “introduce the winner” slide.
    • Students will need to type on all the slides to complete the activity. I am including 2 identical Google slide files for the ballots. One has text boxes already inserted for students and the other one does not.

Notes on the PowerPoint and Google Slides

This PowerPoint gives a brief overview of the Caldecott Medal and also lists some past winners. Legally I am not allowed to include any images of the Caldecott Award or use any book covers from any of the winners. For this reason the PowerPoint only has text. (There is an image of a gold medal on the first slide, but it is an image that is free to use for any purpose). You may edit any part of the PowerPoint (except the background). You may edit the text, add your own, add any images or pictures that you would like, add or delete slides. I used two fonts in the file and embedded them. This means that you can use the same font on all the slides and you do not have to download them to your computer.
