Henry's Freedom Box: A True Story from the Underground Railroad  by Ellen Levine 

# data[].attributes.body
A gripping story about a little boy named Henry. It follows his journey through slavery and finally to freedom. This book corresponds to the Tennessee Social Studies Standard  AAH.10, AAH.11, and AAH.12. I would use this book as a read aloud, because we can use Henry's journey as an opening discussion to other African American's journeys through the underground railroad.

The Boycott Blues by Andrea Davis Pinkney

A poignant blues-infused tribute to the men and women of the Montgomery bus boycott, who refused to give up until they got justice. The Tennessee Social Studies standard is 5.24: Analyze the key people and events of the Civil Rights Movement. So, I would use it as a read aloud before our activity and we would read the story of Rosa Parks. After this, students will write about the different ways Rosa Parks influenced the Montgomery Bus Boycott, and they will write in a venn diagram about the similarities and differences of their experiences.

Inspiration struck when Momofuku Ando spotted the long lines for a simple bowl of ramen following World War II. Magic Ramen tells the true story behind the creation of one of the world's most popular foods. This book corresponds to the Tennessee Social Standard: World Geography 3.06, 3.07 and World War II. So, I would use this book to introduce the topic of World War II and how it affected people. This book is a great way to show the way it affected people and how they had to adapt, but it shows the how a positive can come out of something negative. Also, as an activity you can use this book to talk about different countries and the types of food people eat in that specific country.

This story follows French aerialist Philippe Petit as he did a daring tightrope walk between the two towers of the World Trade Center. This book corresponds to the Tennessee Social Standard CI.25: Analyze changes in global relationships in the post 9/11 world. So, I would use this book to introduce the topic of 9/11 and the changes that happened after this event. This is a great way to talk about 9/11 with younger students. An activity I would do with this book would be math related, because students will be able to connect this story to social studies and math. The activity will consist of counting how many steps it would take to walk between them, and how far the distance was between the towers.

A Native American story depicting the history, identity, and community through the beloved food of fry bread. The Tennessee Social Studies standard is 3.19: Compare and contrast the geographic locations and customs of the Northeast, Southeast, and Plains North American Indians. During the reading we will look at all of the tribes listed in the book and begin to organize them into Northeast, Southeast, and Plains North American. Students will pick a tribe and conduct research and at the end of the unit they will present it to the class.
