SWADBOHH - is the shortest acronym for the longest titled HF picture book. This book has beautifully detailed painted illustrations and would be great for guided reading. I think the title could be very engaging to students and they'll end up learning about the Audubon Society (Conservation organization to protect birds) in the process. This book is a fictional story about the two very real women who founded the Audubon Society. #ucflae3414sp20

deiacovab It was really impossible to find decent resources for this book for some reason. It seems to be an obscure title so what I did was think about how to use this for guided reading and found a source instead for guided reading https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/articles/17-18/what-is-guided-reading/. I think I would need to supply some background information for this book before reading so i chose UDL (3.1) Activate or supply background knowledge . 4y
deiacovab To assess EL student comprehension I would use ESOL strategy 4: Link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge after reading the book to connect back to the background information I provided at the beginning of the lesson. 4y
DrSpalding Scholastic is always an excellent choice. The idea of using this for guided reading is a good one. Some local students go to the local Audubon Society on a field trip! This would be a great read prior to that visit. 4y

5⭐️ Until reading this book, I had always assumed the Audubon society was started by John Audubon: bird painter extraordinaire. While that may have existed at one point, the Audubon Society as it is known today was started by two ladies who were aghast at women wearing dead birds as hat decorations. THis was the time of the suffrage movement and they knew that no one would ever take a woman seriously if she dressed in a carcass.

mabell A. I did not know that either and B. Your summary is hilarious 6y
