The Girl with a Mind for Math: The Story of Raye Montague | Julia Finley Mosca

Similar to the Hidden Figures movie that came out a while ago, this biography by Julia Mosca showcases the brilliant minds of women that were often overlooked by history. This book could also be transformed into a readers theatre, using this great lesson plan as a guide: http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/readers-theatre-1... The UDL coincides with Sustaining Effort & Persistence fostering collaboration and

ebrown community. It does this during the process of the RT, the students relying on one another for the production. The ESOL strategy I would use would be #27. Writing headings that show introductions or transition from one idea to another. This would be easy to achieve by creating signs that have each woman‘s name on them. #ucflae3414f19 5y

fabozzia This looks like a great book! It is so important for students to read things like this. Also, some students will connect with this in so many different ways. 5y

DrSpalding I recently purchased this book! I like your idea of creating the signs for each of the women. Creating a readers theater is a wonderful idea! This could be used in social studies, math and language arts. 5y
