I Dream of Trains

I Dream of Trains | Angela Johnson

1 post | 1 read

Papa says it's the sound of leaving that speaks to my soul... The poignant words of two-time Coretta Scott King Award-winning author Angela Johnson and striking images from fine artist Loren Long join forces in this heartbreaking yet uplifting picture book about a boy, his love for trains, and his adulation of one legendary engineer. It's the story of a hero lost and a hero discovered, of a dream crushed then reawakened, but mostly it is a story of the force that sustains the human spirit -- hope.

Pick

This fiction novel is awarded golden cut award for picture book illustrations. I would use this book for read aloud in my classroom. This realistic fiction picture book is about a boy, his love for trains very engineer this is the story of a hero hero discovery as well as the story of the force this saves the human spirit, hope. This book is a great tool to begin to touch base on the topic of slavery in America.

SofiaRoselli I found this customizable lesson plan that allows students to work with story structure and organize the important elements to support comprehension of fiction text. There aare different levels of lesson plan activities to allow you to differentiate, scaffold, and extend instruction of literature. Throughout the activity, I would be incorporating ESOL strategy seven, show students how to use graphic organizers with semantic mapping and imaging. 6y

SofiaRoselli UDL strategy 3.2 would be applied through the lesson plan as well. UDL strategy 3.2 highlights patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. #lae3414sp19
