What Do You Do with a Problem?

What Do You Do with a Problem? | Kobi Yamada

pick

This RF focuses on a young boy who begins to have a problem. Not knowing what to do, who to turn to, and how to handle it- the problem begins to grow to a hindering size. Will the boys be brave and face his fears? Or will he continue ignoring it, only making it more unbearable?

AlexRobinson This book discusses themes I personally feel like go unsaid, leaving it up for all grade levels. Because it is such a crucial topic for all age groups to learn, I would utilize it in a RA format, leaving room for open discussion and questions as well as hand on activities such as the balloon experiment: focusing on how when worry can grow you also loose sight of new opportunities- 4y

UDL guidelines that can be used through out the text as well as activity are 9.2, 9.3, and 4.1 (facilitating personal coping skills and strategies, developing self-assessment and reflection, and varying the methods for response and navigation). 4y

AlexRobinson EL strategies such as 4, 8, 13, and 36 (link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge, use direct instruction, using preview/review activities, and asking numerous questions which require higher level thinking responses) can be adapted into the text as well as activity. 4y

AlexRobinson These guidelines and strategies set in place will give proper direction on tackling such a complex yet relatable theme. (If you would like a book with a similar theme yet with diversity and minority representation, check out: Ruby Finds A Worry by Tom Percival!) #ucflae3414sp21 4y

What Do You Do with a Problem? | Kobi Yamada

so-so

#BlackCatChallenge Day 4: In this story, a child is plagued by troubles and difficulties and is #Afraid. Besom has successfully layered the narrative with visual metaphors, adding a different texture to what may actually be perceived as a borderline-prescriptive narrative. The advice is to face problems head-on, get to its very core, and maybe one could find something surprising right there at the very centre of it all. https://wp.me/pDlzr-dyr

This is an amazing F PB that I would love to use to teach students in my classroom a lesson! It is about a little boy who has a problem that will not go away. His problem keeps getting bigger and bigger and he does not know how to get rid of it. One day he finally decides to face his problem once and for all and finds that it is actually beautiful! #UCFLAE3414F17

MakennaK UDL strategy, 9.1: Promote expectations and beliefs that optimizes motivation will be used to help students come up with goals to overcome their problems. EL strategy 3 , promote self-talk or positive thinking is perfect to use, because it will help the ELLs feel good about themselves and talk through their problems 7y

MakennaK http://www.teachcreatemotivate.com/growthmindset/ this website will bring you to a lesson plan that is perfect for this book! It helps kids to work through their problems and learn what to do about them. I'd definitely use this lesson plan in my classroom. 7y

Sabrinac Hi Makenna! I really enjoyed reading your book boost! I would love to read this book because, I have read Kobi Yamada's other book, What Do You Do With an Idea and I loved it. I think this book has a very important lesson to it, and I would love to have it in my classroom. #UCFLAE3414F17 7y

What Do You Do with a Problem by Kobi Yamada is an inspirational fiction RA that is a great addition to any early elementary classroom library. In this story a little boy realizes that he has run into a problem. He does all that he can to escape the problem, from running, shoo-ing it away, and even disguising himself from it. The more he avoids the the problem, the more he realizes it grows. Finally he decides it is time to face his problem

KarinaGuillen and in the process of doing so, he realizes something great. He sees that within each problem is a chance to learn and grow! This story relates to students of all ages and backgrounds. It is an inspiring story of bravery, seeing the good that comes from the bad and it motivates students to analyze their problems to figure out why they're there. UDL principal 3.1 Activate or supply background knowledge and EL principle 16 Integrate speaking 7y

KarinaGuillen listening, reading, and writing activities can all be met by this picture book. https://www.mindsetkit.org/static/files/YCLA_LessonPlan_v10.pdf In this Growth Mindset activity students write letters to future students about problems they've faced this school year and how they overcame them. This lesson can be modified to better fit early grade levels. #UCFLAE3414F17 (edited) 7y

DrSpalding Your book post I believe? This is an excellent post regarding a picture book with a very important message. We must persist, overcome, and endure. Having a growth mindset is a hot topic in education right now. Excellent resource. 7y

Aimeejett This is a great book! I think it‘s important for students to face their problems instead of run away from them. This book is great to show that to them. I love your UDL & EL strategy for this book. 7y

brittanyg I love this title of the book. I like that we can put our feelings into a book to help our students. It‘s important that they know that they aren‘t the only one going through.l a hard time. 7y

It was a wee bit cheesy, but I still liked it, and so did my kids.
I like the idea of seeing a problem as an opportunity, even if I'm too grouchy today about a leaky freezer to look for the bright side 😖

Day15 #photoadaynov16 #booknerdproblems Maybe it's more #litzynerdproblems than a book nerd problem but when you take a brief work break & are in the midst of checking out what's happening on Litsy and it goes down, that's a problem. Especially when you spend the next 30 minutes obsessively checking it to see if it's back up! 🤓📚 But the feeling when it is? ....priceless! Thanks @Litsy tech team! ❤️😀
