My choice for #BookedInTime this month is By Fire, By Water. I know very little about the #SpanishInquisition , so this should be an interesting read. @Cuilin

Encounter was written by Jane Yolen and David Shannon. This book shares a story from a different perspective- from the Taino Indians that Christopher Columbus met when he first landed in San Salvador in 1492.

This B about Christopher Columbus will teach students about his life and voyage to America, and what impact he made on American History. This story would benefit best through a RA, where students can be asked/discuss questions aloud with their peers and teacher. https://readingeggs.com/articles/2015/03/03/read-aloud-books/ this link shows the importance of RA‘s. #ucflae3414sp21
In school, the arrival of Europeans was always the beginning of the story. This novel subverts that pattern, giving a matter-of-fact look at the culture of one island people through the eyes of two children. It's sweet and emotionally complex and ultimately sad because we know the unwritten ending to this story. The character-driven story was a new experience for my 11-year-old.

This is historical revision done right. This is a story of Columbus & Co. showing up through a Taino boy‘s perspective.
Da Vinci Code-esque puzzle thriller centering around Colombus and a hidden treasure. So far, we have visited Jamaica, Cuba, Vienna and Prague, which is fun. Airplane books are a fun way to pull my head out of the stress.
I really love this series of books. I think it gives kids a great overview of things that everyone should know. This one focuses on famous explorers and gives blurbs about their accomplishments. 5⭐️
