#SojournerTruth

Bouncing around to yet another country - borrowered Herta Pauli's 1962 book titled "Her Name was Sojourner Truth" from the library today. I can just feel the history oozing all throughout the pages. This book is a 1st edition, published over 60 years ago.

This spunky, resilient woman faced a lot of horrific circumstances and did some extraordinary things. Well worth the read, though it should be noted that the work is not actually autobiographical.

Sojourner Truth: Ain't I a Woman? | Patricia C McKissack, Pat McKissack

#MayMoms - Matriarch: Sojourner Truth. Why? Because in 1851 she poised herself in full height at a podium during a Women‘s Convention and permeated the air with the question, “Ain‘t I a Woman?” Because she advocated the abolition of slavery and championed civil and women‘s rights to a nation not ready to accord such basic human principles to all of its citizens/inhabitants/peoples.👇🏽

Nute Because she went to court against an enslaving system and popular frame of mind to demand the return of her young son who had been sold into slavery illegally in the south simply as his mother. Because she did all of that and so much more in the nineteenth century when that shit was hard, unnerving and often life-threatening for black folks. Because her work remains undone.

Tales of Famous Heroes | Connie Roop, Peter Roop

Pickpick


Tales of Famous Heroes is a (B) by Peter and Connie Roop and Illustrated by Rebecca Zomchek. The Tales of Famous is about the biography of 25 heroes and their achievements. The biography is from the heroes of today and history. This book is terrific for independent reading (IR) because it allows the students to explore heroes they might know about and learn about heroes from our history. #UCFLAE3414SP21

StephanyNunez The UDL principle for the biography and source is 7.1 (Optimize individual choice and autonomy). The source beneath will provide teachers with strategies to support students' independent reading. http://www.readwritethink.org/professional-development/strategy-guidessupporting... ESOL strategy 8 (Provide biographies of significant men and women from different Countries) #UCFLAE3414SP21

Adodd1 Using these books for an IR would be great, especially if they may use this book for resources for research! The link you provided showing the different strategies to support students is very helpful as well! 4y
DrSpalding This is a picture book biography, anthology. You can dip in and dip out of this book to read about significant men and women during social studies instruction. The English learner strategy is actually 28 rather than eight. 4y

#BookNDinner! I received a nice gift card for some of the shoveling I did ☺️, so I went out tonight now that the snow is cleared away enough. Accompaniment this cold and wet evening was: salmon, lobster tail, shrimp, mashed potatoes, Caesar salad, biscuits, and unsweetened iced tea. MMMmmm 😋! Happy reads & happy eats! 😎👌🏻

Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat on a bus and sparked a boycott that changed America. Harriet Tubman helped more than three hundred slaves escape the South on the Underground Railroad. Shirley Chisholm became the first black woman elected to the U.S. House of Representatives.

#nationalfreedomday #loveprevails

JoScho The lives these women led are part of an incredible story about courage in the face of oppression; about the challenges and triumphs of the battle for civil rights; and about speaking out for what you believe in--even when it feels like no one is listening. Andrea Davis Pinkney's moving text and Stephen Alcorn's glorious portraits celebrate the lives of ten bold women who lit the path to freedom for generations. 4y
JoScho Includes biographies of Sojournor Truth, Biddy Mason, Harriet Tubman, Ida B.Wells-Barnett, Mary McLeod Bethune, Ella Josephine Baker, Dorothy Irene Height, Rosa Parks, Fannie Lou Hamer, and Shirley Chisholm. 4y
