Whales on Stilts | 
pick#lae3414sp19 Whales on Stilts! M. T. Anderson‘s Thrilling Tales by M. T. Anderson is a science fiction children‘s book. This book is a fun-loving book about a child that discovers her dad‘s boss is building stilts for whales so they can take over the land. This book is quite comical while still involving strong underlying messages to believe in yourself and have strong friendships.
Kcallihan The UDL I would use for this book would be to offer alternatives for visual information. Since there aren‘t many pictures provided in this book, it could be a good idea to provide pictures of what is happening or ask the students if they‘d like to do occasional drawings to check their comprehension. 5y
Kcallihan The ESOL strategy I would use would be 17, provide contextual support through audio visuals, models, demonstrations, realia, body language, and facial expressions. As stated previously, since the book doesn‘t have any pictures, it‘s imperative to keep the kids comprehending what is happening through images, facial expressions, etc. https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Whales-on-Stilts-Novel-Study-Reading... 5y
DrSpalding Very nice detail included regarding the principles and strategies that align to this book. 5y
dayuso1 This looks incredibly entertaining for young students. I like your idea to include more visuals, since it lacks illustrations. An alternative idea might be to allow your students to make their own illustrations based on what they imagine from the text! 5y
