Eloïse And The Strange Museum Visit:
Learning To Make Reasoned, Ethical Decisions
Learning To Make Reasoned, Ethical Decisions
|
One of the biggest concerns we often hear about is the Environment. So, ask yourself, do you know where your trash goes? Do you know what the impact of your actions is?
Eloïse doesn’t usually think about these questions, but, with the help of Rodin’s ‘Thinker’, she quickly learns how much we can do to battle against global warming, pollution, and our growing carbon footprint. Join Eloïse as she uses her thinking skills to help save the planet! ABOUT THE AUTHORS

Set against the backdrop of Paris, France, this book invites children to be “Thinkers” like the famous Rodin statue and find real solutions to climate change. By engaging students in place-based learning and leading them to real work by other young people, this wonderful story encourages kids to think for themselves and become real-world problem solvers. Inspiring a sense of collective concern and action when it comes to caring for our planet, this book is a valuable addition to any global classroom or household.

A visit to the museum is a great opportunity to stimulate the pre-adolescent mind—and conscience. Eloïse will never be the same after her visit and neither will the students who pick up this book. By bringing together the immediate impacts of our actions with the larger effects of human pollution and waste, this book provides a philosophical basis for living responsibly and challenging others around us to do the same.

This series is a valuable and unique addition to any teacher’s resource collection. Each book focuses on a specific character trait - perfectly aligned with the IBO PYP Learner Profile attributes but equally useful for character education in any school with any curriculum. The stories and their characters are very accessible for independent reading, paired / guided reading, and as teacher readalouds. The delightful illustrations further enhance the key ideas and provide lots of detail for students to discover as they browse. The individual style of this series reflects the character of their authors and will be very appealing to teachers and students alike.
