Teaching Depth and Complexity Icons can be fun and easy for your elementary or early middle school aged students by using picture books! Students will analyze text, dive deep into the content, and practice using all 11 depth and complexity icons (big ideas, details, patterns, multiple perspectives, rules, across the disciplines, trends, ethics, unanswered questions, over time, and language of the discipline) with this lesson! Using the book, "The Day the Crayons Quit" by Drew Daywalt, your students will actively engage with the story and build a foundation of understanding about each of the depth and complexity icons. This book is easily understood and good for even young learners and includes detailed lesson plans.
