For the past 2 years the second grade students have listened to stories read to them by the teacher or listened to them read by a youtube video. The books, Mufaro's Beautiful daughters , Yeh-Shen and the Rough Face Girl are books that the children love to read and tell how they know that each character shows the charateristics of a Cinderella. We look at the characteristics of each Cinderella around the world. We pick a country and learn all about that country. We do a learning walk with the other 2nd grade classrooms at our school and learn about the countries those classrooms learned about. We have a passport and get a stamp after we have visited each of the other 5 classrooms also doing the unit.
To have books that the children you actually hold and read and look for evidence to prove their thoughts would be amazing. To only see the book on a screen and read by someone on the internet does not let the children experience the book for themselves. I would love for my students to be able to have this resource right in our classroom.
