Bringing the Rain to Kapith Plain is a beautifully illustrated book to match a brilliant TL read. This book tells a tale of an African man who restores life while diminishing the hardships of the weather on a plain.

AlexRobinson I would choose to do an AS with this book using https://www.penguinrandomhouse.com/authors/9/verna-aardema/ to learn more about Verna Aardema as most diverse/minority books are written by diverse/minority authors, yet Verna brings a new perspective to this! 4y
AlexRobinson UDL‘s covered with this text could be 8.3 and 3.1 (fostering community and activating or supplying background knowledge) while also utilizing guideline 4.2 (optimizing success to tools and assistive technologies). 4y
AlexRobinson EL strategies include 9, 15, 17, 24 (teaching note-taking strategies, reinforcing key ideas again and again [due to the repetitive text], provide contextual support through visuals, realia, body language and facial expressions, and incorporating the culture of second language learners). An amazing book to learn about the African culture by someone who studied it heavily and is passionate about the tale of Kapith Plain. #ucflae3414sp21

I liked this page because it showed the impact of not having rain on the cows

This would be good for second graders I think since it‘s a little longer. It‘s also great that they learn about different cultures and a bit about how farming is done

This is a traditional literature book. It was one that i think falls under motif, because it repeated itself and kinda was one with a legendary hero as well.

Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain is written by Verna Aardema and pictures are by Beatriz Vidal. This story is a tale based in Kenya in a village that went through a severe drought. It‘s about how it came about and what they did to save it. This story is great for talking about cultures. #ucflae3414f17

JordanD This looks like a very interactive book to have in the classroom- and great resource! Would you use it as a Read Aloud with your students too? And don't forget your strategies- I would love to know how to support students with this book! 7y
