This is a fantastic HF book by David A. Adler. It tells the story of a young boy and his father struggling to make ends meat during the Great Depression. The young boy has to sell newspapers when he realizes that his father is unemployed. The son won‘t tell his father about the newspaper job so the father doesn‘t know that his son is helping out. The two grow and realize a lot about each other and a certain baseball player may make an appearance.

Jgolub13 This book also won the Golden Kite Award for Picture Book Text. For this UDL strategy I would use (3.1) Activate or supply background knowledge. For the ESOL strategy I would use #40 Have students prepare indivisible card files of subject area specific vocabulary. (edited) 5y
Jgolub13 https://achievethecore.org/file/509 For my lesson plan I would use this text for a five day lesson. It would focus on background knowledge about the Great Depression, vocabulary, retelling the text, and making connections. 5y

DrSpalding Your love of baseball is coming through and I like that you found lesson plans that show you how easy it is to integrate social studies and language arts. 4y
