In her Quintera poses the question: “Who are the people who build our cities and form our communities? Who are the people who get streets named after them and who are the people who lay the asphalt?” Your middle grade students can investigate these questions about your own community. Invite your town historian to discuss the origins of your town or city, how it was established, and what roles different population groups have played in its history and development. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266268 2021-08-22 03:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266268 Changes. Older students reading My Papi Has a Motorcycle will identify more readily with Daisy’s musings on the changes that she has experienced in her community. Ask students to reflect on changes they have experienced in their selves, their families, and in their communities. Discuss Daisy’s statement that “there are things that will always stay the same.” As you read texts throughout the school year, note the themes of change that surface, perhaps keeping an anchor chart of titles and examples. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266457 2021-08-22 03:48:55 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266457 Invite your students to pay attention to the ways that they, their classmates, and popular culture texts incorporate multiple languages orally and in writing. Gather a collection of children’s books that demonstrate translanguaging to read aloud and to have available for independent reading in your classroom. Classroom Bookshelf entry examples include: Juana & Lucas and La Princesa and the Pea. Discuss the differences among bilingual books, translanguaging in written language, and translated books. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266724 2021-08-22 03:49:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689266724 Descriptive Writing. Following an initial reading and discussion, select and enlarge some of the descriptive passages in My Papi Has a Motorcycle. Ask your students to close their eyes and visualize the described scene as you read the passage aloud. Then unpack the techniques used by Quintero to help readers create vivid images in their minds. Mark up the enlarged passage, recording students’ observations about word choices. Guide students to notice the use of sensory information. Next, invite students to craft a piece of descriptive writing. Begin by having students draw or photograph a favorite person, place, or thing. Next, students should rehearse for writing by verbally describing the picture to a partner. After students have then drafted and revised their descriptive pieces, share them digitally or in the form of a class book. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267097 2021-08-22 03:50:54 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267097 Representing Latinx Experiences. Latinx experiences remain underrepresented in children’s literature. After reading My Papi Has a Motorcycle, invite your students to survey your classroom and school library for additional picture book titles that feature Latinx children, families, and communities. Use resources such as We Need Diverse Books, Latinxs in Kidlit, The Pura Belpre Award and the Tomas Rivera Book Award to expand the Latinx titles available to your students. Search The Classroom Bookshelf for entries on Pura Belpre award winning titles. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267373 2021-08-22 03:51:45 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267373 Duet Model Reading. Pair a reading of My Papi Has a Motorcycle with a reading of Margarita Engle’s All the Way to Havana. Have students compare and contrast the family relationships, the journey, the communities, and the themes of these stories. Expand this text study with a reading of Last Stop on Market Street and then invite your students to write and draw about a special trip that they have taken with loved ones. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267948 2021-08-22 03:53:28 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689267948 Community Stories. Read My Papi Has a Motorcycle as part of a text set focusing on communities. Include texts such as those featured on The Classroom Bookshelf: Trombone Shorty, Maybe Something Beautiful, Hey, Wall: A Story of Art and Community, Windows and Last Stop on Market Street. Construct an anchor chart to record patterns across the texts, noting how each features community members, landmarks, history, culture, events, and activism. Use favorite texts as mentor texts for students to co-write stories of your community (this could be your school community or community defined more broadly). kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689268473 2021-08-22 03:54:46 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689268473 Food and Community. Food figures largely in Daisy and Papi’s travels through their community. Gather a collection of photographs of the food items mentioned in the story (if your school does not have food sharing restrictions, consider bringing in the food items themselves for students to sample). Read additional texts that feature local foods and eating practices (for examples from the Classroom Bookshelf see Chef Roy Choi and the Street Food Remix and It’s Our Garden: From Seeds to Harvest in a School Garden). Ask students to discuss, write about, and draw their favorite community-based foods. If possible, arrange for a local field trip to a specialty restaurant or food truck in your community or bring in local chefs for interviews and to share food preparation demonstrations. kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689268628 2021-08-22 03:55:09 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689268628 https://laisabelquintero.com/ kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269030 2021-08-22 03:56:25 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269030 https://www.zpvisual.com/ kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269206 2021-08-22 03:56:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269206 https://latinosinkidlit.com/ kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269484 2021-08-22 03:57:44 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689269484 https://storage.googleapis.com/classroom-portal-production/uploads/2019/10/c196475c-my-papi-has-a-motorcycle-printable-2.jpg kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689270885 2021-08-22 04:01:56 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689270885 https://storage.googleapis.com/classroom-portal-production/uploads/2019/10/0e36ad63-my-papi-has-a-motorcycle-printable-4.jpg kelly_muskat https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689271099 2021-08-22 04:02:27 UTC https://padlet.com/kelly_muskat/vsizczdz2flse9jw/wish/1689271099 1.
