She Persisted
She Persisted | Chelsea Clinton
110 posts | 113 read | 52 to read
Chelsea Clinton introduces tiny feminists, mini activists and little kids who are ready to take on the world to thirteen inspirational women who never took no for an answer, and who always, inevitably and without fail, persisted. Throughout American history, there have always been women who have spoken out for what's right, even when they have to fight to be heard. In early 2017, Senator Elizabeth Warren's refusal to be silenced in the Senate inspired a spontaneous celebration of women who persevered in the face of adversity. In this book, Chelsea Clinton celebrates thirteen American women who helped shape our country through their tenacity, sometimes through speaking out, sometimes by staying seated, sometimes by captivating an audience. They all certainly persisted. She Persisted is for everyone who has ever wanted to speak up but has been told to quiet down, for everyone who has ever tried to reach for the stars but was told to sit down, and for everyone who has ever been made to feel unworthy or unimportant or small. With vivid, compelling art by Alexandra Boiger, this book shows readers that no matter what obstacles may be in their paths, they shouldn't give up on their dreams. Persistence is power. This book features: Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Clara Lemlich, Nellie Bly, Maria Tallchief, Claudette Colvin, Ruby Bridges, Margaret Chase Smith, Sally Ride, Florence Griffith Joyner, Oprah Winfrey, Sonia Sotomayor--and one special cameo.

“She Persisted” was written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. This is an incredible NF B book that would work perfectly as an RT! The book contains 13 vignettes of strong women who “PERSISTED” and changed the world even when people told them they couldn‘t do it. It would be amazing for students to take the roles of each individual woman and perform the RT as a class. Highly recommend! Such an incredible book! #ucflae3414su20

Viviannef I can‘t forget to mention that this book is a NY Times Best Seller! UDL Principle 7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity. ESOL strategy 16 Integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. Having students reading, speaking, and listening goes hand in hand with the RT. 4y
Viviannef This resource provides templates for students to write their own autobiography for both boys and girls as well as including their own drawings of themselves to go with it! Such a great way for students to feel empowered. http://www.booknerdmommy.com/persisted-mini-biography-activity-idea/ 4y
Ameyer32 Such a cute idea to have the students perform this book as a RT. I think that children need to hear more about diverse people doing great things! 4y

marissamaddox I keep seeing this book and can‘t wait to pick it up start reading. I think this is amazing choice to show diversity in the classroom. I agree that this would be a good RT! Good job!! 4y
DrSpalding Now you need to read the second installment of this book about women around the world! This is also a readers theater on our Google site. Check it out. Having individual students read the various parts, 13 total, is a wise choice and this can easily be used in your social studies curriculum to teach about historical and inspiring figures. 4y

This NF picturebook shares the stories of 13 women who “persisted,“ from Helen Keller to Ruby Bridges. These women changed the narrative of what a woman can do and be, no matter the starting place. It's an inspiring book to share with the class through CR. One UDL & EL strategy is: Build fluencies with graduated levels of support for practice and performance (5.3) and 4. Link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge. #UCFLAE3414SP20

With Woman‘s History Month coming up,March 1st, I thought this would be a great book to post. This book won the Notable Social Studies Trade Books for Young People Award. It explores 13 American Women who persisted on through hardships. This NF, Biography is a great way to inspire perseverance among students in the classroom. #UCFLAE3414SP20

Tabitha_H A UDL principle that coincides well with this book would be 2.1, Clarifying vocabulary and symbols. There are many opportunities to explore unknown words through out the text. An ESOL strategy that could be used would be #10, Think,Pair,Share. The text encourages conversations about perseverance, and speaking up when told to be quiet. 4y

This is a nonfiction book about the power of Women- women who speak up for their rights and what is right. The book includes very famous feminists who have spoken up for their rights and defended themselves and other women. This book is presented in a clear way that young children can understand. The author uses sources and facts and they are accurate.

This is a NF book by Chelsea Clinton, illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. It is an inspiring book talking about 13 women that have persisted throughout their struggles and of everyone telling them no. It talks about how these women have helped shape our country, spoken out for what is right. It is so empowering, something I cannot wait to add to my classroom library. #ucflae3414f19

maciforster I think this would be great for RT as students will be able to act as these women and learn about them through stepping into their shoes. Here is a website about a basic activity that you can use to learn about main ideas: https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=55160&lf_id=1 4y
maciforster This follows EL strategy #3 with teaching how to never give up and UDL strategy 3.2 to connect the students with these women mentioned 4y
DrSpalding You are correct that this is non-fiction however there is another genre that better suits this title that is an anthology of 13 famous women. What genre? 4y

She Persisted, written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger, is a eye-opening and inspiring B PB that could be a great S book for your elementary classrooms. Clinton goes over thirteen strong women who helped shape our world into the world we have today. These women persisted and never let anyone tell them they could not do it. Read along and learn about these incredible women! #UCFLAE3414F19

Camrynm The EL strategy I would use would be 24: Incorporate the culture and the language of second language learners in your curriculum. In this book, these women come from all over the world, so maybe one of your students is from the same country as one of these 13 women and can share facts about their country. The UDL principle I would use would be 1.3: Offer alternatives for visual information. Students can watch videos on each country. 4y

She Persisted is a B picture book written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. This book would be best as a RT because students can act out the parts of the different 13 women that have their stories told in this book. Their stories are about no matter how much opposition they had, they kept going and pushing for what they believed in. #UCFLAE3414F19

katiehamlin The EL strategy I would use with this book is 4. “Link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge” is good for this book because you can discuss what students already knew things about some of the women mentioned in this book. It will help them connect to the book more and comprehend more of it. 4y
katiehamlin The UDL principle I would use is 3.1. “Activate or supply background knowledge” is good for this book because it will help students to connect to it more and help them comprehend what they are reading. The resource I would use for this book is https://westonwoods.scholastic.com/products/westonwoods/study_guides/3031-She-Pe... . This is a link to a good lesson plan you can use in a K-3 classroom. 4y
DrSpalding You saw this work beautifully as a readers theater. The lesson plan shows you how this book can be used in multiple grade levels to assist students and understanding the valuable contributions of these women. 4y

This B picture book written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger tells about 13 American women who changed the world in their own ways. Each page describes a short synopsis of each empowering woman in how they brought their dreams to a reality that changed their lives and encourage women as a population despite hate, challenges, and struggles. #ucflae3414f19

sbombasi This would be good for an RA/CR (students can all say “She persisted” when it appears) and to be read during National Women‘s History Month. This is a great lesson plan to showcase this.

She Persisted: 13 American Women Who Changed the World is an amazing HF picture book by Chelsea Clinton!This takes you page by page women by women who brought America a treasure! This book would be GREAT for a RT! I don‘t have a lib to provide but I have from my own experience how fun yo I can preform this book! This is great to use as an introduction to a history lesson or simply a fun way to still incorporate new information! #UCFLAE3414F19

haleyklein A UDL to apply for this would be 7.3 & 1.1 to allow students to see a book shown in a fun and new way to keep interest! For an EL strategy we can apply 12, 17 & 24 these all can incorporate the further learning they will gain through hearing and seeing expression. By doing a RT we as teachers can bring the learning materials to life! 5y

She persisted is a NF book that talks about 13 american women who changed the world. It‘s set to inspire young girls to believe that they can do whatever they put their minds to. I think this book would best be a RA in order to learn about each and every woman. #UCFLAE3414SU19

This is link to a printable in where the students can encompass UDL 7.1 of optimizing choice and autonomy and choose their favorite woman from the book and explain what her impact was on the world. ESOL strategy 8 can also be used by teacher modeling the way the students should explain their reasoning.

She Persisted is a B picture book written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. This book highlights 13 American women who changed the world. Some of the women in this book include Ruby Bridges, Helen Keller, and Virginia Apgar. This book gives key details about each woman and describes how they persisted to become the strong, inspiring women they are. #ucflae3414su19

MeganKlein This book would be perfect for a PR or RA, and it could be read during Women‘s History Month in March. I learned so much about other notable female heroes, and I think girls of all ages would be inspired by this book.

She Persisted, written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger, is a (B) book about 13 women who changed history. This book was a #1 New York Bestseller. It included women such as Harriet Tubman, Helen Keller, Oprah Winfrey, and ten others. This book is full of women empowerment and reassurance when they might feel otherwise. This can be used in school for both boys and girls

WoodsKatie Boys need to know how to treat girls and girl need to know how they should be treated nowadays. This book is really good for any age as a RA or AS. This book is interesting and exciting. The book also satisfies UDL guidelines 9.1 and 7.2 as well as ESOL strategies 11 and 16. The lesson I found is allowing students to write their own stories and autobiographies for boys and girls and how they persist! 5y

She persisted by Chelsea Clinton illustrated by Alexandra Bolger is such a good nonfiction book for young girls, it gives them the idea that they can do anything they want in their life no matter what obstacles are in their way! I would have the students listen to a read aloud to really make sure students are understanding the content of the book. The UDL I would use Is 2.1 and 2.2 to make sure the students are understanding the content of the

DianaHerrera Just below the summary of this book in the link above is an activity where students can create their very own biography inspired by She Persisted. There are different activity sheets on how the students can create their biography for both boys and girls! 6y
DianaHerrera UDL 9.1 aligns with this lesson because students are to promote expectations and their beliefs to boost their motivation/make a change. ESOL 28: Providing biographies of significant women/men of the world shows how one person can make a difference in the world no matter how small. #UCFLAE3414SuB18 #ClassroomLibrary (edited) 6y
emilybanne Love this book and it has a great meaning. I love the activities and want it for my library! 6y
DrSpalding I love the #ClassroomLibrary and I like the idea of mini biographies based on the amazing females presented in this text. EL 28 is perfect, obviously for this book. (edited) 6y

Great inspiration NF biography book. A great way to introduce students to some Great women of our American History.March is National Women‘s History month, this will be a great book to read to the class . For classroom activity , we will do a “Alphabet Organizer”. For every letter of the alphabet the class will add a historical name or any category previously chosen. It will be interesting to see if all the letters will be filled.

AmyPerezCubas I love this book! It so inspiring and very important for students to read. I learned so much when I read this book. This should be in every classroom‘s library! 6y
ERodriguez Agree! I like how it gave a summary of so many great women in our history. 6y
DrSpalding Proof your work and be sure it includes all of the necessary details. 6y

#GetMovin Day 28: These 13 women who persisted are clearly #Fighter(s). Each of the women come from different disciplines or professions: from being a journalist to conductor of the underground railroad, from a medical doctor to a Supreme Court Justice. As Florence Griffith Joyner stated: When anyone tells me I can‘t do anything, I‘m just not listening anymore. Full review here: https://gatheringbooks.org/2018/04/16/monday-reading-85/

Parts of this book are really sweet and uplifting, and the illustrations are adorable. What bothered me was the bizarre tone she took for a couple entries. The idea that if you want to be more than JUST a US representative AND a US senator, you need to persist is weird. Opening on Harriet Tubman was great until there was the implication that persistence is all anyone needed to escape slavery. There are better books of this type.

MarriedtoMrT I think the struggle to get that refrain in each bio did take away from it. If she could‘ve left it out when it didn‘t flow it would‘ve been stronger. 6y

Short stories for middle grade about 13 remarkable women. Most were familiar but one or two weren't. Good for young girls to have some role models beyond pop singers and reality TV stars.

I‘m in love with this NF/B book. Written by none other but Chelsea Clinton herself, this book tells the story of many different women who have made a change and taken a step in the right direction for women‘s rights. This book is not only for girls but for everyone as it tells an amazing story and teaches incredible lessons of equality. I cannot wait to read the sequel. Everyone should read this book! #ucflae3414sp18

devin.s Here is a link to a “mini-biography” activity: http://www.booknerdmommy.com/persisted-mini-biography-activity-idea/ I would love to somehow turn this into a RT. UDL: 2.1, 2.4, 5.3, 6.2 ELL: 4, 11, 28 6y
DrSpalding I love the biography activity. I again sense your passion for the book. These biographies can be inspirational for young learners. 6y
DrSpalding FYI- There is a readers theater of this book on the readers theater page of the wiki.🙂 6y

She Persisted, a B and New York Times Best Seller by Chelsea Clinton is a fantastic picture book for kids. This book is a narrative for women who have taken on their own struggle to power and have come out on top. This book is an empowering book for young girls especially to be able to persist no matter how much Of a disadvantage they may find themselves in.

juliette_kathleen I would utilize this book in my classroom as a RA. I would also be sure to use the writing prompts as provided in the following lesson plan https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/She-Persisted-Writing-Activity-and-B.... This lesson plan encourages students to develop critical thinking skills and coping skills (UDL 9.2). I would also be sure to pre define the word persist along with a few other vocabulary words 6y
juliette_kathleen Which would cover EL strategies 31, 36, 3, and 5. #UCFLAE3414SP18 6y
Kendallc Love that this is an empowering women book as a children‘s story! 6y

She Persisted: 13 American Women who Changed the World by Chelsea Clinton is a New York Times best seller nonfiction picture book that is perfect to help teach children about powerful and impactful women and not to give up. This book would work well as a read aloud in the classroom to help ensure comprehension.

NicoleCumbo A UDL strategy to go along with this book is strategy 3.1 (activate or supply background knowledge) and an EL strategy would be strategy 4 (link lesson topic to students prior knowledge). Https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DFJkBSbJe18 is a great read aloud for this book. #ucflae3414sp18 6y

This incredible NF book of collective biographies, tells a short story of 13 American women who never gave up; they persisted! Chelsea Clinton and Alexandra Boiger do an amazing job of combining illustration with factual evidence to show young readers that they too can overcome, because these amazing and diverse women did! Great read for any age level for RA, GR, & my favorite RT. #ucflae3414sp18 UDL: 3.2, 5.3, & 8.3 EL: 4, 5, 12, 14,15, 28, 50

LisaMart This is also a great book to read in class to get students thinking about an influential figure they‘d like to do their own research on. Here is an after reading activity where the students can pick other influential figures and describe how he/she persisted, or you can even change it up and allow the students to write about themselves instead.

Laura.S @LisaMart this book looks amazing to have in the classroom! Great for girls to see strong role models. I love the site you linked and that it provided many worksheets to help with the study of autobiographies! 6y
AndreaG I read this book for teach live and feel this book has so many options for application in the classroom! I felt like it was a good opportunity to build confidence in students by promoting a lesson revolving around text to self awareness. 6y

paulettevp I also read this book. I love your post because the activity you mentioned would be such a wonderful way to immerse students into a discussion. The book hold so much more than just important women. It can start many conversation just from that umbrella. I think that‘s what ultimately makes it a great book. 6y
AmeliaS21 I chose this for my read aloud! It‘s a fun way to get kids to learn about women in history! Keep up the great work! 6y
Kendallc I think this book is great for the whole class setting and they can get a lot out of it especially with the activity thank you! 6y
KhyaraN I wanted to choose this for my read aloud but ended up with Martins Big Words. Definitely think on adding it to my to read list. It is diverse in the sense of being for girls who are not represented as much. 6y
DrSpalding Specifically, what kind of nonfiction?🙂 6y

She persisted written by Chelsea Clinton and illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. This is a great nonfiction story that tells the story of 13 American women who has paved the way for not on American girls but girls of all nationalities. This is a link that takes to a site that has many fun activities that would be useful in classroom; whether it be for History or English http://www.booknerdmommy.com/persisted-mini-biography-activity-idea/.

BriannaR Some good teaching strategies that would be good are RA, IR, SR, and DR. I would love to do this a a read aloud the most because you can read a person a day and have students do a mini project on that person. The UDL strategy I would use is 7.2 because it'll show students how these 13 women impacted our lives today. ESOL Strategies number 45, 48, and 28. #UCFLAE3414SP18 6y
BriannaR By the way I read that she might be in the process of making a She Persisted 2 6y
DrSpalding I think the sequel is coming out this week! Yes this is nonfiction however it is about 13 women… What is the correct genre? 6y

This is a NF New York Times Best Seller I would use for GR to expand vocabulary, make text to self connections, and learn about famous women in history. She Persisted briefly tells about the lives of 13 famous women and how their persistence made a huge difference in the world. Stories include those of Hellen Keller, Harriet Tubman, Virginia Apgar, and Oprah Winfrey, to name a few. #UCFLAE3414SP18

AndreaG I like that both women who are living and those who have passed are represented in this book. I believe this will help students feel a connection to the book when they hear names like Oprah Winfrey and Sonia Sotomayer, names they may have heard mentioned in their recent past. UDL 3.1 is used in that the text supplies background knowledge. 6y
V.DeQuattro A lot of people chose this book for the read aloud! After hearing some of our classmates talk about this book and reading your post I am really interested in reading it myself! @AndreaG 6y

Noelle5 This is the book I did for my read aloud and also a litsy. This book is awesome! Makes me even more proud to be a woman than I already am! ;) I am glad I purchased it because I will definitely be using it in my future classroom and doing lessons with it. I already read it to my Sunday school kids and I could tell they were inspired and motivated! 6y
ambera This would be a great book to introduce students to powerful women. We here about powerful and successful men all the the time so to include a book that mentions powerful women will be a great read. 6y
Ryanne.H This book is so great for little girls. With so many young girls suffering with low self-esteem, this would be wonderful to show girls some powerful women in our society. Great job! 6y
SadiqaH I like this book. The way you explained and presented this book is great. I will definitely read it. 6y
DrSpalding The new sequel is coming out this week! Search it up online! 6y
AndreaG @DrSpalding I saw it in Target a few days ago and almost snagged it, but bought my boy Where The Wild Things Are instead. I‘m not sure why we never purchased that book when my girls were younger. 6y
AndreaG I would use this book as a RA to lead into history lessons about the figures in this book, letting students do more research with a partner about one of the historical figures and presenting their findings to the class. UDL 3.1, 6.2, 5.1. ELL strategies 32, 42 (edited) 6y
DrSpalding Such a detailed summary, excellent use of Random House quality resources and EL/UDL alignment is spot on! Well done! 6y
AndreaG @DrSpalding Thank you! 6y
