Teachers from the Picture Book Lovers Teachers Group, who have consistently taught classes using picture books, have published “Middle School Picture Book Class” following “Elementary School Picture Book Class.”
This book presents a rich list of picture books and various class activities to assist learning for middle school teachers who have ever wondered, "Is it possible to teach picture books in middle and high schools?" or "How should I teach picture books?"


『Middle School Picture Book Class』 introduces examples of picture book classes taught to students in eight subjects, from free semester to Korean, English, math, science, ethics, home economics, and Chinese characters, in line with the increasing number of subjects and the increasing specialization of middle school classes.
Not only does it provide specific information on the picture book class process, which involves selecting and reading picture books for each subject and engaging in activities such as opening thoughts, sharing thoughts, and organizing thoughts, but it also vividly captures the process of finding picture books that are perfect for each unit and topic, experiences of small successes and failures in class, and the students' reactions and changes.


"Middle School Picture Book Class" clearly demonstrates that picture books, previously considered to be for toddlers and early elementary school students, can be the best learning medium in middle school classes, opening students' minds and leading their thoughts with short texts and beautiful illustrations.
Even in middle and high school classrooms, picture books engage students of all academic abilities, engage them with the lessons, and enhance their comprehension through intuitive illustrations and accessible text.
Above all, it narrows the gap between students who always struggle with their studies and teachers who have to encourage such students with a pitiful heart.


Some students say it's the best class they've ever taken, others can't wait to see what picture book the next class will read, and still others say they'll remember the teacher who read to them for the rest of their lives. Middle school and high school students alike truly love picture book classes! With "Middle School Picture Book Class," try a class that aligns knowledge with life, fostering both reason and emotion.

Publisher's Review
Both middle school and high school students love picture book classes!

When we think of 'picture books', we often think of them as books for toddlers or elementary school students to learn Korean before reading longer texts.
However, as picture books become more diverse and the number of works with added literary and artistic qualities increases, picture books are loved by people of all ages, from children to adults, to the point that the saying "from 0 to 100" has come to be.
Even in middle school classrooms, picture books stimulate students' emotions.
When students encounter picture books that resonate with them, they experience a different kind of liveliness than when they are only exposed to textbooks, and their passion for learning grows.
In the process of reading the text and illustrations in a picture book and understanding the message the author is conveying, literacy and critical thinking skills, which are the core of rational thinking, are developed. In addition, logical thinking is fostered through the process of reading a picture book, creating questions, and discussing them.
Even in middle school and high school classrooms where the burden of learning is high, 『Middle School Picture Book Classes』 can be used to teach classes where knowledge and life are in harmony, and classes that simultaneously cultivate reason and emotion.


Introducing picture books by subject and unit

The beginning of a picture book class is to choose a picture book.
There are many different picture books available, but it can be overwhelming to know how to choose the ones that meet the achievement standards for each subject.
『Middle School Picture Book Class』 introduces picture books by subject and unit that perfectly match the class objectives of eight subjects: Korean, English, Math, Science, Ethics, Home Economics, and Chinese Characters, starting from the free semester.
At the end of each chapter, there is a list of 'Picture Books That Go Well Together', providing a wealth of picture book information.


Well-selected picture books help teachers and students approach class objectives with open minds.
In the free semester class, students meet various 'selves' through picture books.
In Korean language classes, picture books serve as both supplementary and primary teaching materials, and touching English picture books even make students love English.
Students experience the emergence of mathematics through picture books, making it easier to understand mathematics, and interesting science picture books lead students to deeper exploration.
Picture books that don't force students can replace potentially predictable moral tales, and picture books depicting family and everyday life can make difficult topics in home economics easier to approach.
The newly created picture books change the students' questions by using Chinese characters and 'learning from the past to learn from the new.'
You can obtain information on picture books and many lesson ideas through 『Middle School Picture Book Class』, which contains picture books carefully selected by subject, topic, and unit, and a variety of activities.
