We are presently using the reading program, Benchmark, and throughout this series of units there were many excerpts of novels. Anne Frank and Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry were among them. The kids were so disappointed because they wanted to read more, it was a cliff hanger for them. The characters resonated with my kids.
My kids were motivated to learn more about the books... The Diary of a Young Girl (Anne Frank) , Surviving Hitler (WWII), Roll of Thunder, Hear My Cry, To Be a Slave, Monster "Watch the company you keep" in regards to the novel, Monster. Lastly, The Call of The Wild , an adventure about survival, a moral we can relate to during this pandemic. Their passion encouraged this project. As an educator, I want that for them!
