Great unit! I love how it covers all aspects of the topic such as the history of it, the tragedy, but also some of the great things of the setting such as the hands on activity of making a paper crane like in the book. Great thinking in your hinge activity to break up more traditional lectures and let students have a sort of break and have fun while also staying with the unit topic and content. Also great choice in using a more lighthearted video on a very heavy and tragic topic such as the Hiroshima bombing. Great lessons that ease students into the unit and the novel.

Meylany, the background fits the book so beautifully!

I love that you chose one of your hinge activities to be a creative one in having students create paper cranes. I read this same book back in 4th grade and I loved it so much. We also got to do paper cranes!

I really like your hinge activity. I like how they not only feel connected with the story but also your class. As we know its important to set that classroom environment and I think you did that!

Arts and crafts is always a great activity that kids love and this is a great way to connect it to Japanese culture. Learning how to make origami is a great way for readers to understand the culture in the book that they can remember. The way that the origami would be displayed is also so creative and a great way to showcase the work that the students have done.

Hi Meylany,

Your padlet looks amazing!! Your hinge activity is so engaging for the students! I know they would love to make some cranes, and it would look so pretty in your classroom.

Your Padlet looks amazing! I really like the origami activity you chose for this novel. I think the students would absolutely love it. Also, I know students enjoy watching Brainpop, which is a great way to keep them engaged and focused.

This was very well organized. I really enjoyed your Hinge activity which allows the student to connect origami with the cover of the book and Japanese culture.

As a class we would do brain pop together by watching the video and doing some of the activities that are provided in the website. After I would students do the quiz on their own.

A hinge activity I would make students do is learn how to make a paper crane because they will feel connected to the story. I would have everyone do it by following my directions, I would do up on the projector for all of my students to see.
when all my students are done I would create a branch out of paper and have all students put their cranes on it .
After i would give my students background knowledge about cranes and what they symbolize.

Summary:
This book is a about a young a Japanese girl named Sadako who was born towards the end of World War II.  During this war and atomic bomb was dropped which caused people to do die from the radiation that was spread. People either passed away instantly or later on during their life they were diagnosed with rare diseases. Sadako was one of them; she grew up as a normal healthy kid but later on she got older she started feeling sick and she was diagnosed with leukemia.

I chose this non fiction novel because it teaches students about world war II and there are so many different lesson plans to do. my first one being about reading the prolonge, then we go onto chapter one and then continue with chapter two.
