Reporting on a doctoral practicum that examined children's literary works and developed related expressive language activities, this document contains a description of the practicum--including its purpose, goals, procedures, and results--and a guide for primary teachers to use in language arts instruction. The expressive language activities outlined in this guide for literature suggested under six categories (Mother Goose, modern literature, traditional literature, poetry, fables, and film) include pantomime, oral expression of feelings, retelling stories in sequence, discussion, and acting out the story. Activities, also categorized according to grade levels (kindergarten through grade three), offer a synopsis of each literary work and procedures for carrying out the activity. (HOD)
