Great way to teach children about a legendary poet
“Poetry is the voice of the people.”
pickThis biography introduces children to the life of Chilean poet Pablo Neruda, focusing on his passion for writing and his love for the people of his country.
Treasuring performances by this amazing Knoxville #poet, musician, & James Agee scholar. Two fave songs worth looking for on YouTube: R. B. Morris's version of "Science for the People" and his rendition of John Prine's "That's How Every Empire Falls." Both sadly relevant as Prine died of Covid and now the next US administration prepares to turn away from science-based decision-making. #DaysDevotedTo #Science4Peace @Eggs @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks
“But that didn't stop George from admiring the language that was all around him.“
I would use this story in a social studies lesson with older grades. It is good to highlight on the dark history but in an enlighten way so students are not hidden from the truth of what happened in America.
pickThis biograph is a true story about George Moses Horton. The story highlights how George was wanting to learn to read, but he was enslaved, therefore he could not. This inspiring story illustrates the struggles that enslaved people had to go through, but they still had determination to admire the things they value. George valued poetry.
