The Yellow Star: The Legend of King Christian X of Denmark | Carmen Agra Deedy

This is an incredible HF, Christopher award-winning book set in WWII, following the legend of King Christian X of Denmark as he figures out how to best lead his people with the troubling discoveries of living in this war. This book brought me to tears and even though there is no proof of this even actually occurring King Christian was known to stand with the Jewish citizens of Denmark throughout WWII.

Mmurphy This would be a deep LC for students to do with one another as they are able to discuss and understand further what the significance of this book is. We would be using multiple tools for construction and composition of this information by learning the information collected by the different members in the LC (5.2)UDL.

Mmurphy For our EL‘s, I would use information gap activities, so they are able to retrieve information from one another based on their job in the LC.

A great resource is a lesson plan provided by the Holocaust teacher resources website: http://www.holocaust-trc.org/the-yellow-star/

Ericaj This book looks interesting. Books base on World War 2 interests me. The website you provide shows ways to integrate into different subjects. It is important to integrate literature into different subjects. I will add this to my book list. 4y

DrSpalding Carmon is a New York Times best-selling author! She visited our university several years ago at the UCF- book festival! She is amazing! Your resource is excellent and this book could certainly be used during social studies instruction in fifth grade. 4y

Around the World in 80 Trees | Jonathan Drori

pick

Bk5 of May, Bk1 of my #NutsInMay #readathon & Bk4 of #BookSpinBonanza is done! I really enjoyed this NF book, written by a botanist, he‘s chosen one tree from each part of the world & gives a description of the tree, it‘s history and it‘s uses. He took what could‘ve been a boring subject & made it highly readable. Definitely recommend. #NonFiction2020 #FromACountryOtherThanYourOwn #MayBookBingo #NewToYouGenre #PageAThon #240pages #MedievalAThon 👇

With an American heiress,jewel thieves,a reserved Englishwoman & Hercule Poirot swanning around in a beautiful train on the way to the Riviera, what could possibly go wrong? Plenty of course. Loved it. #ReadingEurope2020 #France #MysteryBookBingo #CozyMystery #MayBookBingo #BeginsWithM #PageAThon #267pgs #StartOnYourShelfAThon

Bk2 of May is done! I listened to the audiobook on Scribd(which I‘m loving btw, I‘ll link to join in the comments👇)The Book is very different to the movie, was it just me or was anyone else hoping a Dino would eat that annoying granddaughter?😂Other than her it was a really good read. #LitsyAtoZ2020 #LetterJ #PopSugar20 #InACountryBeginningWithC #AudiobookBingo #NoPersonOnTheCover #MayBookBingo #Audiobook #PageAThon #448pgs #StartOnYourShelfAThon
