Rosie Revere, Engineer: 1 (Questioneers)

Product Information

This is a three-sessionspelling seed for the book Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty. Below is the coverage from Appendix 1 of the National Curriculum 2014. Een heerlijk prentenboek waarin heel veel te ontdekken valt en om keer op keer voor te lezen. De zinnen zijn op rijm geschreven en de tekst is vertaald door Edward van de Vendel met misschien een kleine afwijking in rijmschema maar hoe knap gedaan! Now perhaps if Andrea Beaty's presented poetry had been a trifle less awkward and stumbling (and with that, also not so utterly frustratingly distracting) and if her oh so very much important messages had been less in one's proverbial face and thus not so maddeningly preachy (about being courageous, about not being afraid of making mistakes, about trying again and again if and when disasters do occur, and yes, these are indeed important lessons for EVERYONE), I might have actually enjoyed Rosie Revere, Engineer. Each character's picture book also has a corresponding workbook available, which is a great resource to enhance the kids' creativity and imagination.

The book was written by Andrea Beaty. It was illustrated by David Roberts. What genre is Rosie Revere, Engineer? An unexpected and worthwhile message. I kind of don't want to spoil it, because I wasn't expecting it, and when I came to it, the surprise made it all the better. Reminded me of the excellent The Art of Learning. Will no doubt inspire conversations with children about the benefits of failure and the pursuit of dreams.”— School Library Journal Top Twinkl Tip ~ If you want a fun-filled lesson for Engineering Week, why not put a few of the resources from the above list together along with a reading of the Rosie Revere Engineer! The Rosie Revere Engineer story, written by Andrea Beaty is a lovely book all about perseverance, the moral of the story is to never give up, and change the mindset of ‘I can’t’ or ‘This won’t work!’ to a more positive ‘I can’ or ‘Let's try!’ attitude.Teaching Engineering with Picture Books: Grade 4: Rosie Revere, Engineer by Andrea Beaty – Engineering Design: Learning Collaboration and Grit Roza ziet in allerlei weggegooide spullen en restmaterialen de onderdelen voor de wonderlijkste apparaten. Wie kan er een worstjes-op-brood-automaat of een kaashoed tegen slangen ontwerpen? Roza dus, maar ze verstopt haar uitvindingen. I have created literacy graphic organizers for Rosie Revere, Engineer. You can find them at my Teachers Pay Teachers store. There are many activities for each literacy area to differentiate depending on your student’s ability/age. They include activities for:

I like the Questioneers series because I like science and engineering as well as art and the books feel like the combination of both subjects. I also like it because the books are like poems. The sentences rhymes. It was fun to read them. Totdat een overgroottante arriveert: je stelt jezelf doelen en die ga je dan halen.' Roza gaat weer aan de slag met de kaaskopter. Ze durft weer, valt èn staat weer op: doorzetten en het gaat lukken! Je haalt je doel, ga ervoor! 'Fout gaat het pas als je hebt opgegeven!' Great rhyme and meter. Reminds me of Dr. Seuss; Beaty's rhymes pop every bit as well as Seuss's, and she doesn't cheat (I think Dr. Seuss got lazier over time, making up fantastical animals whenever he needed something for his rhyme scheme). Rolls off your tongue if you're reading out loud, without any awkward spots where you have to stop, re-read, and figure out how to carefully emPHAsize the right syllAbles to make it work. Andrea Beaty is the author of a series of books about curious classmates; Architect Iggy, Scientist Ada and Engineer Rosie. Illustrated by the Scottish illustrator, David Roberts, the books tell the stories of hopelessly curious children who overcome hurdles to pursue their passions.

Enter the Blue River Riveters. They have an emergency that they need Rosie’s help with. One of the riveters, June, is a painter and always participates in the Art-a-Go-Go. This year, though, she has both of her wrists in casts. How can she paint like that? It’s up to Rosie to build a solution. The questioneer series is a lovely set of books, each book telling the story of one child who questions, thinks and acts! There are five characters in the series as of now, each book dedicated to that one character. We have Ada, who always questions things with What, Why, When and How and shows traits to be a scientist. Then we have Rosie who wants to be engineer. She tinkers and tries to come up with new inventions. There is Sofia, who shows signs that she will be an activist one day with her actions to create change in the society. There is also Iggy, who loves to build and hence wants to be nothing but an architect. A new book in the series is about Aaron, a dyslexic child who loves stories but can't differentiate written words. To tell his stories he takes the route of art. At the end of the book is some bonus material including an "Ode to a Valve" (which was adorable and amazing!) as well as more information about valves and the actual Riveters. This isn't a girl self-esteem book. This is an importance of failure book. There's something I haven't seen a lot of. The main character is a female because the main character had to be something. She could have been a genderless anthropomorphic bear, that's how little sex roles have to do with this story.

Her great-great-aunt Rose visits and mentions to Rosie that she still has one goal to achieve in her life. She wants to fly. Rosie lies awake that night, thinking of how she could help her aunt fly. She came up with the idea of making a cheese-copter. Great story. Loved all the messages of working together, stopping to think, perseverance, helping others, and thinking outside the box. I could not put this book down. I honestly read it all this morning in one sitting. I find it helpful that there’s a lot of extra information about the female riveters at the end of the book as well as an encouragement for kids to talk with older people and learn their stories.Rosie is embarrassed, perplexed and dismayed when he laughs at her invention. From that moment, she keeps her creations a secret (under the bed), worried that they will be failures. Based on the real-life experiences of a Paralympic gold medallist, this lively picture book is a joyful celebration of mastering a new skill by stepping out of your comfort zone. The main character Rosie is a creative and ambitious little engineer. She loves building machines from old gears, wires, and broken motors, and she gives her models hilarious names (Foolhardyflop, Creative Catastrophe, Magnificent Mess, etc.). Her inventions often fail, but Rosie never gives up. Her perseverance is really admirable.
