I like that it points out that there are flaws in every life, but that it is in fact your flawed life! It also shows that no matter what you must love yourself for who you are. This would be a good book for students who like books that have a happy ending. I could use this to teach students that you must accept your flaws and love yourself and your life regardless of what others have around you.]]> 2018-03-06 00:05:34 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238401663 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238402457 In the story, Tinka and her friend the crowe, set out on an adventure to prove tiny Tinka's worth to the bigger sheep.

The father acted like the son for the day at the zoo and the son was so embarrassed he decided that next time he would simply leave his dad at the zoo! This would be a good book for students that like funny books.

I love that it shared how a rich jewish family also was affected by the holocaust and how much it hurt them. It then flawed to the future and how the doll, Elisabeth, was passed down to tell the story of the past. This would be a good story for students who like stories about families or about history.

I loved that Mary did not give up on her colors no matter how much her male coworkers said no and told her that she was ridiculous for loving color. She kept up her dream until she got put onto a project all by herself and created the beautifulThis would be a good book for students who love Disney or reading about hardworking women. Working hard even when you feel like people are putting you down.

I also like that it tells the real story of a boy with Autism. This would be a good book for students that are interested in learning about differences, I could use this to teach my students about how everyone does not do things the same, but you still have to be kind and respect the differences. ]]> 2018-03-06 01:32:14 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419262 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419268 This book interested me since Maya Lin entered a contest in hopes of honoring the fallen soldiers in the Vietnam Veterans Memorial. She won the contest, but was torn down and fought by the other designers since she was just a student. She, however, did not give up. She fought back just as hard. This would be a good book for students that are interested in architecture. I could use this to teach my students to believe in their work and in themselves. They should believe in what they can do and should not give up because others believe they are unfit or unable. ]]> 2018-03-06 01:32:15 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419268 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419279 I liked that Garrett morgan did not let diversity stop him from making inventions that helped others. People were not interested in his inventions since he was African American, but he did not let this stop him. This would be good for students who enjoy reading about people who have overcome diversity. I could use this to teach my students to not let diversity stop them from doing what they love. To go against diversity and prove it wrong. ]]> 2018-03-06 01:32:17 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419279 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419334 I liked that Tesla persevered through hardships until he fulfilled his childhood dream of making a generator under Niagara falls. He then went on to make a radio controlled boat. This would be a good book for students who like to read about inventions. I could use this as a teaching point to never give up on your dreams. No matter what they are. They must work hard and preserver and you can make them happen.]]> 2018-03-06 01:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419334 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419337 I enjoyed that Manjhi took his whole life to make a road through a mountain to connect two villages. This was due to unfairness of a caste system. One village got everything while the other got nothing. He thought everyone should get the same, so he made a road to connect the two. This would be good for students who are interested in history and biographies. I could teach my students about caste systems and then we could compare and contrast the societies in Manjhi's time and today.]]> 2018-03-06 01:32:29 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238419337 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238423917 This novel was a tear jerker. I enjoyed that it was personal and by the end you felt like you were also apart of Hannah's story. It also makes you realize how you really do not know what people are going through. This would be a good book for student's who enjoy reading drama books or real life books. I could use this to teach my kids that respecting others and being aware of others feelings is very important because you never know what they are going through. ]]> 2018-03-06 01:54:01 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/238423917 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/239450457 I liked this book because it read like a story, but has good facts about down syndrome. It shows two friends, and the friend is telling us all these facts bout her friend with down syndrome. This would be good for students that are interested in disabilities or friendships. I could use this book to teach karyotypes in biology. I could also use this book to talk about differences.]]> 2018-03-07 23:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/239450457 cfrawley https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/239450460 This book was a biography about Abe Lincoln. I liked that it talk about all his traits including honesty and thoughtfulness. It talked about his life from childhood to presidency. This would be a good book for students who love history and presidents. I could use this as a teaching point to talk about Abe Lincoln and what he did as a President.]]> 2018-03-07 23:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/cfrawley/mzj249klr135/wish/239450460
