NY: Hyperion Books. en-us 2018-07-03 01:29:16 UTC 2026-03-12 05:32:47 UTC hello@padlet.com Martin's Big Words is a children's biography about Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. His childhood was filled with inequality, and he recalls the signs that said "white only" (Rappaport, p. 1). He grew up to be a minister like his father and was taught that everyone is special (Rappaport, p. 4). Martin believed that love could cure the problems in the world (Rapport, p. 16). He was a prominent and successful civil rights activist that led most of the world to see that we are great and we can be equal (Rappaport, p. 19). eeestep1 https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269210511 2018-07-03 01:33:38 UTC https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269210511 Criteria for Jane Addam's Children's Book Award: eeestep1 https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269211491 These books must be aesthetically pleasing and engage children in thinking about peace, social justice, global community, and/or equity.]]> 2018-07-03 01:45:20 UTC https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269211491 Dr. King's Overview of his work and some "big words" from "I have a dream" speech: eeestep1 https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269212119 This is a short video of his most influential work. ]]> 2018-07-03 01:52:06 UTC https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269212119 Related Course Material: eeestep1 https://padlet.com/eeestep1/1xvil6hgkyzb/wish/269212732 Colabucci and Napoli write that the criteria that is often overlooked when referring to JACBA include broadening the outlook to appreciate various cultures, promoting and understanding of the roles of women, and people settling disputes peacefully (Colabucci and Napoli, p. 31).
