On the other hand, the value of diversity is exposed, because the metaphoric image is open to different interpretations. All in all, to rediscover the concept of identity construction, taking into account that gender stereotypes are being defined at early years

A The color into the narrative: an intermedial study about Little Blue and Little Yellow by Leo Lionni

A partir de uma análise da relação entre o texto verbal e o visual no livro Pequeno Azul e Pequeno Amarelo de Leo Lionni (2011), este artigo tem como objetivo estabelecer um estudo intermidiático da obra, buscando compreender, principalmente, o papel da cor neste espaço narrativo, conferindo-lhe relevância em relação à história e desdobrando as suas potencialidades de sentido. Para isso, será considerada a função da cor como personagem, incorporando suas especificidades na criação de um texto mixmídia, cujos signos possuem coerência no momento em que são lidos juntos, sem que  haja subordinação entre palavra e imagem-cor.Through an analysis of the relationship between verbal and visual texts into the book "Little Blue and Little Yellow" by Leo Lionni (2011), this article's objective is to establish an intermediate study of this work, trying to comprehend, mainly, the role of the color inside this narrative spectrum, giving it a relevance in relation with the story and expanding its possibilities of meanings.

The science experiment and the playful learning: window of opportunity for curricular articulation in the transition between preschool education and primary education

This article presents the reflexive analysis of a strategy of science teaching through the inquiry-based science education, of curricular articulation between pre-school education and the primary school education, within the framework of in-service training of teachers. The main objectives of this training course titled “The science experiment and the playful learning”, were: to develop procedural skills to implement playfulness activities oriented to the action and participation of the students with intentionality to learn science; to develop knowledge and procedural skills in the experimental problem solving in science; and to operationalize practical activities that promote a smooth transition of the students between the different educational cycles. The subjects that have been developed in this study are included in the curriculum of the kindergarten and the primary school, which involved interdisciplinary aspects between science, mathematics, arts and portuguese, as light and colour, primary and secondary colours, volumes and capacities measurements and colour saturation. It was applied scientific vocabulary, predicting, experimental procedures, and analysis of the results. In addition, the friendship, the sharing, the trust and the respect were also explored. The project was evaluated through the analysis of content of field notes, observation grids and the satisfaction evaluation in the final of the activities, as well as the reflexive analysis of the educators and teachers involved.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio

The ornament of grammar

Part of an ongoing research project to interpret linguistic grammar visually, this essay presents initial experiments to visualise rhetorical patterns in English sentences. Creative contextualisation is offered with reference to earlier visual forms that were treated as a kind of language. A certain strand in Modernism - in particular that running through the Bauhaus which used abstract devices as a foundational design syntax - opened the way for post-war picture books to activate the narrative potential of simple coloured shapes; and, again, avant-garde musical scores from the 1950s onwards used exploratory graphic notations to instigate expressive new treatments of sound. My own visualisations are playful in spirit but posit a serious idea that grammar works by means of deep aesthetic tendencies. My case studies - featuring a model user and a model abuser of English - flag up common patterns in typical sentence construction under seven descriptive labels. Ultimately the essay suggests that Illustration might flourish at the level of the sentence, the basic unit of meaning within word-based language and, in very simple terms, the expression of a thought. Ornamenting the rhythm and flow of how a sentence operates is one means of ‘seeing’ a voice give shape to thought

Story retelling with at-risk children

Story retelling is a powerful learning experience for children in the classroom. It provides opportunities for them to engage in the thinking-language processes thus extending their abilities. When retelling a story, children create their own construct from a story they have listened to or read. Retellings are also useful as a source of information for teachers. When used for assessment, teachers can observe children while engaged in the process of retelling to understand their sense of story

Translating gender and sexuality in children’s literature: Turkey as a case study

Drawing on the translations of sexuality in five Turkish translations of children’s literature, this paper starts with introducing the origins, developments, and trends of gender as well as the dilemma between gender pedagogy and taboo issues closely related to the sexuality and body politics in children’s literature and its translation in different contexts.2 Particularly focusing on the context of Turkey where sexuality and body politics have always been controversial issues, the paper intends to shed some light on the matter. Thus, the examination of Turkish translations of children’s literature can yield eye-opening outcomes in terms of the understanding of sexuality and the travel of sexual and body-political content from one context to another.A partir de cinco traducciones al turco de obras de literatura infantil, sobre sexualidad, este artículo presenta los orígenes, desarrollos y tendencias del género sexual, así como el dilema entre la pedagogía de género y los temas tabú estrechamente relacionados con la sexualidad y la política corporal en la literatura infantil y su traducción en diferentes contextos.
