I Have a Dream | Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

pick

“I Have a Dream” By Kadir Nelson is an extraordinary NF B book! This book has won two Caldecott awards and the Coretta Scott King Award! Amazing! This book is a fantastic DR or RA book on what MLK believed in. It is a great book to teach young students about Civil rights and can be used in a History Lesson as well. At the end of the book, it has the entire “I Have a Dream” speech by MLK! #ucflae3413su20

Viviannef UDL 1.1 Offer ways of customizing the display of information and ESOL 16 Integrate speaking, listening, reading, and writing activities. Students will be able to listen during the RA about MLK and his journey fighting for civil rights. The link below also provides opportunities for students to write their own “I have a dream” speech just liked MLK in his historical speech. 5y

Viviannef http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/living-dream-acts... – The website provides an amazing lesson plan for grades K-2, student interactives, printouts, and multiple websites to investigate relating to the book! 5y

DrSpalding Excellent use of a recommended high-quality resource. Once again, he has been in the news for his work alongside John Lewis. You have created a diverse set of books that could easily paint a picture of the civil rights movement in our country. 5y

Madeline | Ludwig Bemelmans

pick

Bemelmans was awarded the Caldecott Medal for his classic story of Madeline. This poetry (P) book talks about Madeline the smallest yet bravest girl of them all. Madeline is rushed to the hospital and the other 11 girls parade her with gifts so she can recover. This book is great for a RA and to have students share a time when they were brave!

UDL: 2.2 ‘clarify syntax and structure‘ students pay attention to the rhyming words

LeahH EL: 13 ‘use preview and review activities‘ teachers need to show EL students rhyming words and do some activities so they understand when reading. 5y

LeahH http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/activities-projects/r... “construct-a-word” is the technique teachers can use to help children get familiar with rhyming words 5y

DrSpalding Remember me saying that not all things that rhyme are poetic. This is an example of that! Madeline would not be poetry but what genre would it be? Excellent resource that aligns with rhyming words. 5y

Martin's big words: the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr | Doreen Rappaport

pick

This nonfiction takes the reader through a mini walk of Martin Luther King, Jr.‘s life. Starting from when he was a little boy and was able to identify and read “white only signs” to when he traveled to Memphis, Tennessee, to help the garbage collectors on strike and was shot and died. The book focuses on the “big words” he used to help change the world and how he used love to fight hate. (1/3) #ucflae3414sp20 #butwaittheresmoretoread

Keishla.O I can‘t wait to get this book. I had such a good read aloud experience with it and I know my future students will too. Can‘t wait! 5y

victoriamaria @Keishla.O it‘s a great book! 5y

victoriamaria This book can be used as an introductory lesson for prominent figures during the 1950s. It can be used to integrate history lessons. The illustrator‘a style is very unique. The illustrator uses a collage style technique. The illustrator mentions in the note that there are a few symbols throughout the book that represents an event that occurred during that time period. UDL 2.1: Clarify vocabulary and Symbols and UDL 3.1: Activate and supply (2/3) (edited) 5y

DrSpalding Excellent resource… It is not hyperlinked. Try to fix that? Excellent idea to utilize this book in a social studies lesson. Add the verbiage to the one universal design and English learner strategy required. 5y

Madeline | Ludwig Bemelmans

pick

This TL, Caldecott award winning book was written and illustrated by Ludwig Bemelmans. The book is about a young girl who lives with 11 other young girls and taken care of by Miss Clavel. One night Madeline cried and cried and needed to get her appendix out. The girls all missed her and wanted theirs out too. #UCFLAE3414F19

fabozzia I would use this book as a RA, and I found this great rhyming activity for students. http://www.readwritethink.org/parent-afterschool-resources/activities-projects/r... 5y

fabozzia I would pair this book with UDL strategy 2.1 because there is a lot of great vocabulary for students to clarify, which aligns with EL strategy 5, to teach technical vocabulary supporting key concepts. I believe this story would be one of the simpler books, in some ways, to incorporate these lessons and strategies. 5y

Snowflake Bentley | Jacqueline Briggs Martin

Students will learn about Wilson Bentley while reading Snowflake Bentley, the Caldecott winning picture book. Jaqueline Briggs Martin creates a verbal timeline of the great photographer‘s life and how he came to capture images of snowflakes. Mary Azarian‘s beautiful art brings the story of Bentley to life with vibrant colors and wide shapes. Each page is detailed with different snowflakes!

YvetteE http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/using-snowflake-b...
This lesson plan aligns with reading, writing and critical thinking standards that involve whole group discussion and team created diagrams. ESOL strategy 21. Record your lectures, presentations, or stories on audiotape, especially for new students who have very limited exposure to English and UDL principle Offer ways of customizing 5y

YvetteE the display of information (1.1) PR would be appropriate for the reading level.

DrSpalding I love this biography and partner reading could work quite well. Reading this prior to a science lesson about snowflakes and or the winter season would work well. 5y

Thank You, Mr. Falker | Patricia Polacco

pick

This RF picture book by Patricia Polacco tells about a girl named Trisha who struggles with dyslexia. Throughout her years in school, everyone was able to read except for her which made her frustrated and thought she was dumb. Kids would make fun of her and not one teacher paid attention to her struggle, until Mr. Falker came along and believed in that she could read. He helped her as much as he could and finally so happily, she was able to read!

sbombasi This book would be great for an AS because this book is actually an autobiography of the author. It‘ll be nice for students to see and research that the author tells about her own personal life similarly through this book she wrote. Here‘s a lesson plan that goes perfectly with an author study activity.

kradebaugh This looks like a book I would like to check out. I have a son who struggles with Dyslexia and it would nice to read him a book about someone else who struggled but yet came out on top. 5y

DrSpalding A beautiful book that highlights an issue that many children experience. This should be a part of your classroom library and consider an author study as well. 5y

Blended | Sharon M. Draper

pick

This RF novel by Sharon Draper, is a great story about diversity. This book entails an 11-year-old girl named Isabella who is in the 6th grade. She is half black and half white. She struggles with her identity with being biracial, racial tension among her community, and living with her divorced parents of two separate families that she has to go back and forth to every week. #ucflae3414f19

sbombasi This book is a great LC to discuss many topics like real-life struggles that may be similarly happening with others that they can relate to or bring awareness about different types of families. Having students follow this lesson plan matches perfectly. Distinguishing different roles to each student that they can identify as well.

sbombasi The UDL principle 8.3 fostering collaboration and community along with EL #2 promoting cooperation (small groups) work well with this lesson. 5y

DrSpalding I am happy you decided to be involved in this literature circle. 8.3 works beautifully with literature circle strategies. As does English learner number two. 5y

Martin's big words: the life of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr | Doreen Rappaport

pick

This biography picture book is an excellent read aloud to introduce students to one of the worlds most influential leaders.The book won the Jane Addams book award for picture books. The book begins with his childhood experience of seeing “white only “signs throughout his hometown, presenting his efforts of the civil rights crusader, and ended abruptly with his assassination.

SofiaRoselli The website provides a great overview of the book, standards, resources and lesson plans. I would teach questioning for clarification, ESOL strategy one, to help students further understand big concepts in the book such as racism. I would also help clarify vocabulary and symbols, 2.1, so students understand prejudice and racism.

The Phantom Tollbooth | Norton Juster

pick

This fantasy novel is perfect for an independent reading book in the classroom. For milo, everything‘s a bore. When a tollbooth mysteriously appears in his room, he drives through only because he‘s got nothing better to do. But on the other side, things seem different. Milo visits the Island of Conclusions (you get there by jumping), learns about time from a ticking watchdog named Tock, and embarks on a quest to rescue Rhyme and Reason!

SofiaRoselli The website I found for this book provides a preview of the book, standards, lesson plans, and resources for educators. The lesson plan provided gives an activity where students use a diagram to aid in identifying concepts and seeing relationships which covers ESOL strategy 30. UDL strategy 3.2 is also used because the diagrams helps to highlight patterns, critical features, big ideas, and relationships. #lae3414sp19 (edited) 6y

Whoever You Are | Mem Fox, Leslie Staub

Whoever You Are written by Mem Fox and illustrated by Leslie Staub, is a sweet NF book. Children all over the world look different, speak different languages, and live completely different lives, but inside they are all the same❤️ This book should definitely be in classrooms as it promotes love and acceptance! Some parts of the book repeat so it would be great for CR. ESOL strategies 3, 11, & 16 go along with this book. UDL principles 7.2 & 1.2

giont also fit. http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/moving-toward-acc... this link will bring you to a lesson plan of moving toward acceptance through picture books and two-voice texts. Whoever you are is used in this lesson. The link below will bring you to the authors website which gives you an option to listen to the book! https://memfox.com/books/whoever-you-are/ #LAE3414sp19 6y

DrSpalding Read write think is a quality resource as is the authors website! Two resources! 6y
