Research Dr. Seuss. In your journal, research Dr. Seuss and find out:
1. When and where was he born (and with what name)? When did he die?
2. What was his childhood like?
3. What important events occurred in his life?
4. What brought him to write children's books?
5. Make a list of some of Dr. Seuss's works (books, films, etc.)
Check out the link nearby. Play. Enjoy. But remember to complete the steps below.
After answering these questions, go to:
1. Youtube.com and watch a bunch of his videos. Type in Dr. Seuss and you'll get plenty to watch. Have fun. Notice what kind of "reader" or "viewer" his films are written for.
2. Amazon.com. Go to Amazon.com and look up Dr. Seuss. If you can, look inside at some of his books.
3. Try your hand at writing a "Dr. Seuss" style "poem/story". Create a character and a situation, setting, and, of course, use rhyme. Create and type up the "script" for the short book - don't worry at this moment about the drawings.
