Night Boat to Freedom | 
pickI love this HF book about escaping slavery. This story uses symbolism in a great way to tell a touching story about a boy and his grandmother. The boy helps countless people escape slavery to freedom. Then the night comes to escape himself and he won't leave without his grandmother. #ucflae3414f19
This book won the Bank Street Children's Book of the Year in 2007.
Jgolub13 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 5y
Jgolub13 There is a great lesson to help story map this book. It will take the students through the layers of the story so they grasp all the important information. It will helop them better understand the relationship between the boy and his grandmother. https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=11168&lf_id=9 5y
Jgolub13 This book is written by Margot Theis Raven and illustrated by E.B. Lewis 5y
DrSpalding This book would work beautifully in a social studies unit regarding slavery. EB Lewis is an amazing illustrator. 5y
