Harvesting Hope

Harvesting Hope: The Story of Cesar Chavez | Kathleen Krull, Yuyi Morales

pick

This B is a painfully honest but raw story of Ceasar Chavez and the mark he left on this world by protesting and fighting for the rights he and the people around him deserved. After leading the longest nonviolent March in US history, he signed the first contract for farm workers in American History.

AlexRobinson This story reflects on themes of power, abuse of power, bravery, uniting, and strength. Due to its authentic and moving pictures, this book won the Jane Addams Children‘s Book Award for Picture Book and also was nominated for Pura Belpré Award for Illustration in 2004. 3y

AlexRobinson This book would be useful in an AS, where students could dive deep into Kathleen Krull‘s website to learn about who she is, why she writes in the style she writes in, and what these books with such bold and breath-taking concepts means to her (http://www.kathleenkrull.com/). 3y

AlexRobinson UDL‘s that would coincide with this text would be 2.1, 2.4, and 4.2 (clarifying vocabulary and symbols, promoting understanding across languages, and optimize access to tools and assistive technologies). 3y

AlexRobinson EL strategies that go hand-in-hand with this book could be: 4, 11, 24, 28, and 37 (link lesson topics to students‘ prior knowledge, place language in meaningful text, incorporate the culture and the language of a second language learners in your curriculum, provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries, and use language experience techniques). 3y

AlexRobinson With so many necessary historical events to look back on in this one story alone, this book had even me shocked at a look into our history‘s past. A truthfully amazing book for older students to be able to discuss what used to be and how Cesar changed that. If I could rate in any higher, I would! #ucflae3414sp21 3y
