The Ballad of Mulan | 
so-soThe TL book is Song Nan Zhang‘s retelling of the well-known story of Mulan, a young woman in China who goes to fight in the war in her father‘s place, since he is elderly and likely wouldn‘t come back alive. To do this, she has to dress up as a man, and stays that way for 10 years. This book would be good for S and DR. #UCFLAE3414F19
JennaMichelleCohn ESOL strategy 4, “link lesson topic to student‘s prior knowledge,” would work here since most know the story of Mulan. A good UDL would be 3.1, “activate or supply background knowledge,” and 8.1, “heighten salience if goals and objectives,” since the stakes are so high in this story. 5y
JennaMichelleCohn https://www.cpalms.org/Public/PreviewResourceLesson/Preview/29355 CPALMS provides a great lesson plan for this book, focused on reading comprehension, and key details including setting and characters, and even works a bit on writing opinion pieces. 5y
DrSpalding Using the FLDOE website for teachers is a wise choice. Most children will have only seen the Disney version and I like that you have selected this picture book to show them that this is true traditional literature. 5y
