#SeptemberSenses Day 18: There is the dreaded #SenseOfFalling for Humpty after the fall. This is an extraordinary story of courage, self-determination, and a shaky-yet-firm resolve to not allow one‘s anxieties to rule one‘s entire life. The transformative power of terror and climbing higher while one turns green in the face, with the knowledge that one can fall helplessly at any minute is done so well.

Great for reading aloud. Theme perseverance. Everyone knows the story of the Humpty Dumpty, but few know what happened to him after his fall and recovery. After his fall Humpty Dumpty develop a feared to Heights, and because of this, he could not enjoy anything that he liked, such as eating a box of cereal. Eventually he did overcome his fear. It is a book with a positive meaning that should be shared with everyone.

This TL picture book by 2015 Caldecott medal winner Dan Santat creates an alternative twist to the original Humpty Dumpty tale. Everyone knows the tale that when Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall, Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. But what happened after? After the fall, he is now terrified of heights and can‘t do many of the things he loves most. #ucflae3414f19

sbombasi This book will be a good RA to show readers to not let fear, a fall, or a bad encounter stop you from getting back up again and doing what you want to achieve.

The UDL principle 1.1 offering ways of customizing the display of information along with EL #16 integrate speaking, listening, reading and writing activities aligns with this.

sbombasi This site offers different types of activities to go along with this book, specifically After “The End” I found was a great way to promote text-to-text connections for students. The students continue the stories of traditional literature tales such as Jack and Jill and can be represented in different ways such as writing, song, poem, or skit.

After the Fall is a great book on how Humpty Dumpty got back up again! This story written and illustrated by Dan Santat is all about what happened to Humpty after had that great fall and couldn‘t put back together again. This book teaches you to not let fear stop you from achieving what you want. This website has a variety of lessons (my favorite being the egg experiment) and could be use for many different school topics. EL strategy 41(compile
