A Single Shard

Newbery winners, such as the tagged, make me feel #rhapsodic #springsentiments @Eggs
The FIRST Newbery I read was It‘s Like This, Cat by Emily Neville, in 7th grade.

I for one often treat whiteness as ā€default.ā€¯ Working on that. The post referenced is well worth the read, written by the author of the tagged (whose books Iā€m sorry to say Iā€ve never read - something else to work on!): http://blogs.slj.com/afuse8production/2020/06/30/guest-post-with-linda-sue-park-...

Finally read this Newbery-winning #middlegrade book about an orphan who learns from a master potter in twelfth century Korea. This one feels like a classic in every sense, and made me miss making pottery even more. Plus, it‘s short, which is always a selling point for me š‰ #kidlit

LeeRHarry That is one gorgeous cover! š¨ 5y

Switching to another literary love - Children‘s Literature! The number of books that are written for the young and very young folks that I have enjoyed as an adult reader is in the hundreds if not thousands. Sometimes I wish that I was doing childhood all over again simply for the magical discovery of reading and being wholly submerged in a story!

I am in hour seven of the extended #24B4Monday known as #24B42020. I‘m having a blast!

Andrew65 Great going and pleased to hear you are enjoying it. š‘¸š‘¸š‘¸ Know what you mean about children and YA literature. 5y

Come-read-with-me @nute This looks like a glorious book. Thanks for sharing ā¯¤ļø¸ 5y

Librariana I feel that way quite frequently! Especially becoming an avid reader later in life š You're not alone in your sentiments š’š“ 5y

rubyslippersreads I ā¯¤ļø¸ā¯¤ļø¸ā¯¤ļø¸ children‘s books! 5y

A HF novel that takes place in twelfth-century Korea where a 13-year-old- orphan falls in love with the art of pottery. Tree-ear goes on a journey of self discovery, determination and perseverance. A beautiful tale of a boy growing up and dealing with life‘s problems in the best way he can. This text would be an amazing option for LC. #lae3414sp19

JessicaRosell Carol Hurstā€s Childrens Literature Site has a teachers guide http://www.carolhurst.com/titles/singleshard.html, that can help stimulate discussions and cross curricular activities. By using this book, a student can learn more about pottery, and then create something! Which is a great ESOL Strategy, 46. When used with LC: UDL 3.1, supply background knowledge, and UDL 7.1 that optimizes choice. 6y

gnewman @JessicaRosell Wow! Great choice and love the resource!! 6y

melindamcmullen84 This is a great sounding story! I loved your teachers guide for this book! Being able to incorporate pottery into a lesson sounds like fun! 6y

DrSpalding This is such a beautiful book that could be used in social studies and of course with integrating the arts. 6y

Library ebook on hold just got downloaded to my tablet - A Single Shard by Linda Sue Park. This won the Newbery Medal in 2002 and is set in 12th century Korea. Have you read it?

nelehelen Oooooh no but on my TBR now! 6y

Chrissyreadit Yes- loved it. 6y

Lindy Yes, I read it when it was first published and the setting has stayed with me. It even came to mind when I was looking at a pottery exhibit at the Brisbane art museum last year. 6y
