House Mouse, Senate Mouse | 
pickThis F picture book is such a great addition to any classroom (even high school, since a lot of students still struggle at that level with understanding how bills work). In it, students in a class of mice write a letter to their congress to suggest that the country needs a national cheese. The letter then goes through the motions of being passed, and bonus: it rhymes. This book was super fun and cute to read. TS: RA, and AS.

UDL: 3.4 Maximize transfer and generalization; this book transfers well into how our own government works (as it is designed to do). Although it is about mice, it isn‘t too cheesy (get it?). 7y
presentation on a transparency or on the chalkboard; this is a great book to start helping students learn terms such as ‘congress‘ and ‘senate‘. It‘s absolutely best to have them written down ahead of time, perhaps on a Word Wall. #ucflae3413f17 7y
