*Race

*including African American,Latino,American Indian and Asian American such four categories.The United States is an immigrant country, so there is a multicultural social background. There are many writers from different cultural backgrounds.Their books all have their own background characteristics.In the elementary school classroom, children come from different backgrounds of life, or they may be different races, so getting them into a variety of cultures is very helpful for mutual understanding between them.

Maybe Something Beautiful

Let the kids reflect on the most beautiful thing in their neighborhood by drawing or writing on the free printable included.There is also a sheet for kids to design their own mural on the side of a building.  This is also a free printable included.

Henry's Freedom Box

Challenge students to turn the story of Henry’s Freedom Box into a short play. Pair students with a partner to write a script. Suggest that students choose five or six scenes from the book that tell Henry’s story. Then ask them to write several lines of narration and/or dialogue for each of the scenes. Remind them to first make a list of the scenes and the characters in each scene and then write the dialogue. Ask students to work together to produce one version of the play.

I will let the students share these books through discussion in the group and read it aloud. If possible, they can make a play.

e.g.Looking like me
At the beginning of each new school year I get to know my students through “Where I’m From” poems. I think that Looking Like Me will be a great introduction to thinking in terms of who we are. I can already foresee activities where we list who we are. What a great introduction to our new community and to writing!
