Black Cat is a gorgeous poetry book that has won a Correta Scott King award. This book is a story about a black street cat living in the city, and is told through poetry and beautiful artwork. This book would be great in the classroom for students who love music and learning about animals. #ucflae3414f19

Shannyblake A lesson plan that I thought would be great is to present this book to students while teaching them poetry, and having students write poems about being their favorite animal in a particular environment.

Shannyblake This book would also be terrific for choral reading, as the story is told in form of a song. The ESOL Strategy I would use for this book is (4) link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge and the UDL Guideline I would choose is Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity (7.2)

DrSpalding I like the idea of choral reading! Well done. 4y

Velvetfur I didn't know about this day! I will post a picture of my little girl then 😁 Thank you for mentioning it! 5y
Amiable @Velvetfur Yes, it‘s a day intended to raise awareness about the low adoption rates for black cats! They are less likely to be adopted because people are superstitious about black cats. 🙄 5y

Velvetfur @Amiable I heard it was because black cats don't show up very well in selfies, which of course is heartbreaking. I don't know where you live but that was the story here in the UK anyway... It's made me and all my friends want to adopt only black cats! 5y
Amiable @Velvetfur I live in the U.S.—and I agree about only wanting to adopt black cats! Every black cat I‘ve ever met has been a sweetheart with a gentle soul. 😻 5y
kspenmoll I never would have thought that! To me black cats are so beautiful! 5y
Dolly Count me in as a black cat (5yr old) adoptive mom. ✋🏼😻 5y

Black Cat is a poetry book that is great for Choral reading because of the repetitive language found throughout the book written by Christopher Myers. Myers‘ illustrations for the book won the Coretta Scott King Award. The poetry picture book exposes students to different landscapes that the cat can go to. It has beautiful rhythm and culture.

MeaganM http://udlguidelines.cast.org/representation/comprehension/background-knowledge. This website gives tips and suggestions for activating or supplying background knowledge that prove effective for completing lessons. EL strategy 8 would be especially effective in conjunction with this book because of the opportunity for modeling. Supply the students with background knowledge about some of the landscapes to monitor UDL 3.1. (edited) 5y
DrSpalding Excellent selection! Using the resources at cast.org is wise. Continue to use them in the future. Choral poetry will help build fluency and a love for the genre. 5y

I hear it's #loveyourpetday, and though I have two black cats to love, I particularly wanted to show off this magnificent creature. He's been under the weather this week and maybe it's morbid, but it just makes me remember to appreciate his companionship that much more. He is a good, good friend. #ColeCat #catsoflitsy

Hey-oh!
We‘ve got just over a week until October, so I just wanted to give you all a heads up that I‘ll be hosting a super fun photo challenge. With my birthday being on November 1st, Halloween has always been my favourite holiday. So use the #BlackCatChallenge hashtag, and tag me in your daily pics. Every post will be an entry for a Fall/Halloween giveaway. More details to come! 🧟‍♂️🧛🏼‍♂️🧙‍♂️☠️🎃👻

Sace This looks fun! I might not be able to do every day but I see a few days that interest me. 6y
Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks Love it!! 🧡🖤 6y

Judybskt I‘ve never done this. How does it work @Clwojick ? 6y
Velvetfur Woohoo! I'm so into this, can't wait! 6y
Velvetfur @Judybskt What I've always done with photo challenges is to take a pic of something that 'illustrates' the word for that day, if that makes sense. Is this how the rest of you do it....? 6y
Clwojick @Judybskt hey! Exactly what @Velvetfur said! So choose a book to go with the photo prompt. Whether it matches the title, cover art, book blurb, sentence, quote etc. And if you don‘t have a book that matches, feel free to post a pic of something that does. Your own black cat, Halloween decor. Etc. I‘m pretty lenient when it comes to entries for the final prize 😊 6y
Judybskt 😊🧡🍎🎃🍁🍏 6y

I'm jumping in on the #CatsofLitsy posts! I do not own any cats, but this is my friend's (who so graciously let me live with her for a few months while my family was uprooted and in the moving process) cat! He was my little reading buddy! She lets me FaceTime with him when I'm missing him! I love you, Bear-Bear! #HappyNationalBlackCatAppreciationDay
