This HF picture book dives into the different tribes that create the very first Americans! Long before Christopher Columbus discovered the land that is now America, there were multitudes of people living here. The author teaches us about what the tribes did, where they lived, how they ate, and what they did for fun. I'd say this is a great Read Aloud book, as it provides the teacher with opportunities to stop and ask questions.

MFlowers The CPLAMS lesson plan that pairs well with this book can be found in the following url: https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewStandard/Preview/5699
If you're looking to ask questions and deepen your students' understanding of the tribes, you need to aim for UDL guidelines 8.3 (foster collaboration and community) & 3.2 (highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships). When you create that community, students are more likely

MFlowers to respond and participate. The EL strategies you should strive to apply are 1 (teach questioning for clarification), 15 (reinforce the key ideas you present), & 6 (continually monitor students' comprehension). That way, you are regularly referring to the text and reminding the students of what they're learning. The more they see it and read it, the better they will understand. #ucflae3414sp21 (edited) 3y
DrSpalding Minor genre confusion. Remember that F stands for fiction and this is factual information. Knowing that it is not historical fiction, what do you believe the genre to be now? 3y

#bookmailisthebestmail!!! Just had to get Phoebe's 🦄, since I read a bit of it while performing a quality check before gifting it for Christmas, & loved it. The Queue is for the #LitsyAtoZ reading challenge and I heard, from @NerdyRev & a few others, it's a good 📖. Milk in My ☕️ is a recommendation by my mother-in-law. And I've heard great things about The Vegetarian & Giant Days. The 1st Americans is a diverse pic for my stepson. #bookmail

NerdyRev It was weird and good. I am still thinking about it. 7y
TheBookAddict @NerdyRev 😂 sounds like it's up my alley. I like weird and good books that make you think even weeks after it's over. 7y
