INSIDE THE CLASSROOM:
* 6th grade color poems do something like this, and this book would add so much!
* Have students listen without seeing (blindfold?  though they'd need to touch).
* Read it without the words... have them touch the book and guess which the color is.
* Mark's idea: add music, which color goes with which notes/tempos, etc.
* Growth ed?  Perspectives

OUTSIDE  CLASSROOM:
* might be perfect for an advisory group activity. 6th grade AWARENESS!

UD:  Current events - need to correct narrow perspectives; make connections of windows/mirrors; show similarities in settings (OMAM); Foreign language - go to local neighborhoods to make it a friendlier, accessible experience to practice language.
Outside the classroom: Students come from all neighborhoods; Old Woman was not afraid to connect with others - so easy to feel fearful. Some kids have never taken the subway - they need to make connection. Can't judge just by appearance or media. Helps students realize that can find as much fulfillment in simple things, what is around them in the present. Some students are always busy, entertained - never ground themselves in silence, peace. Great joy in helping out at food pantry. Inspiration for service/learning -- great way to prepare for Allston Brighton. The generational relationship is also powerful - the grandmother opens awareness, broadens outlook.

Growth Ed. Grade VII looks at identity and could use this book and others.
A read aloud for a parent affinity group as a resource for how you could talk to your child about this.

A way to look at group identity through language. How words can have different meanings with context. Take a word like "rainbow" or "pride" and see how people react to it after being place in the context of the glbt community versus on it's own.

Inside the Classroom

Social Studies - Students find a civil rights moment and use the picture book to teach younger students about what they have studied.
