Talkin' about Bessie: The Story of Aviator Elizabeth Coleman | 
pickThis biography about Bessie Coleman is very powerful for children. This book would be great for a DR or a PR. This book is also by Nikkie Grimes, and won the Coretta Scott King award for children‘s literature. This https://www.nikkigrimes.com/teacher/besstg.html lesson plan from the authors website offers great writing opportunities for students. The ESOL strategy to be used could be 16. Integrate listening reading and writing activities.
ebrown The UDL strategy could be for language and symbols (2.1-2.5). This would provide an opportunity for the teacher to modify the lesson and present the instructions in multiple forms. Instead of asking students to write a response, they could create a video or any other media outlet for the project. #ucflae3414f19 5y

Jewelwinkler I‘ve never heard of Bessie Coleman before, but I think it would be great to introduce students (and myself) to her biography. The more students know about historical figures, the better! 5y
DrSpalding I really like the idea of creating the video for a project. This is a much better post than some of the later posts. Excellent poem choice. 5y
