A stunning way to sneak poetry into storytime. The book is big and on most pages, the illustrations are a two-page spread. Colors and food vocab used throughout. Both are popular topics with kids of any background. If you're looking for more #blackjoy books, this is a must-read. Joyce's words and Floyd's paintings radiate emotions and thoughtfulness. #dw2020reads

Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968 | Alice Faye Duncan

pick

Memphis, Martin and the Mountain top is a HF, PB which would be perfect for a RA during black history month. This book explores the assassination of MLK and the experience as emotions that go along with going on the sanitation strike in Memphis through the eyes of a 9 year old girl. This book is a Coretta Scott King award winner in 2019. Alicefayeduncan.com provides a great teacher resource for discussion questions before and after you read.

Tabitha_H #UCFLAE3414SP20 The UDL principle I would use would be 3.1, activate and supply background knowledge. The ESOL strategy would be #15, reinforce the key ideas you present again and again. (edited) 5y

DrSpalding There are several Coretta Scott King winners that would work well with this book in a social studies unit, as you mentioned during Black history month or when you were teaching students about historically significant individuals. 5y

Black Cat is a gorgeous poetry book that has won a Correta Scott King award. This book is a story about a black street cat living in the city, and is told through poetry and beautiful artwork. This book would be great in the classroom for students who love music and learning about animals. #ucflae3414f19

Shannyblake A lesson plan that I thought would be great is to present this book to students while teaching them poetry, and having students write poems about being their favorite animal in a particular environment.

Shannyblake This book would also be terrific for choral reading, as the story is told in form of a song. The ESOL Strategy I would use for this book is (4) link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge and the UDL Guideline I would choose is Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity (7.2)

abbie-cadabbie I‘ve never heard of this book before but I‘m intrigued! I love poetry books so much. Great post! 5y

DrSpalding I like the idea of choral reading! Well done. 5y

Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968 | Alice Faye Duncan

This Historical Fiction book is about the Memphis Strike of 1968. It talks about Martin Luther King Jr. and how he struggled for freedom and justice. It is told in the eyes of a little girl who marched in the strike with her mother and father. This book is great for this genre because the story is accurate and authentic to telling Martin's life. It also shows a different point of view in Martin's life, because it is told by a young girl.

Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968 | Alice Faye Duncan

I would use this book in my classroom as a read aloud, with activities afterwards. It would be more appropriate for students who are older such as third grade. It talks about the Memphis strike of 1968.
