Theodor Seuss Geisel, better known as Dr. Seuss, taught reading and life lessons through more than 60 published books. His rhymes and characters are beloved by generations of fans. In this course, students will:
- review his life, influences, and development as a writer and individual
- listen to, read, and view his various works of art
- explore the deeper meanings of his writing and illustrations
- learn how he shows the ups and downs that occur throughout life and how we can learn to overcome adversity and achieve our goals
- recognize how Dr. Seuss teaches us the importance of the big picture, the larger themes of being ourselves, being honest, and just being happy.
- Further topics will include being yourself, accepting others as they are, use of imagination and reflection, outlooks on success, treating others respectfully, spirituality, changing points of view, facing adversity, being modest, conservation of the land, as well as many other life concepts.
- review the recent controversial news surrounding Dr. Seuss from different perspectives, taking into account the specific period of time in history, and how this author appeared to learn from the experience following that time in his life.
