Children of the Great Depression | 
pickChildren of the Great Depression written by Russell Freedman is an amazing NF picture book. It won the Orbis Pictus award in 2006. This book is a documentation of the lives of children during the Great Depression. Russel uses numerous illustrated archival photographs, diaries, letters and other primary documents to tell their story. This lesson would be amazing to use in a social studies section.
juliette_kathleen I really love this lesson plan http://www.utahmoca.org/wp-content/uploads/2015/10/A-Lemony-Story.pdf. I think it sends an amazing message as well as teaches a valuable life skill. I would likely use SR for the initial half of the lesson. This lesson would utilize EL strategy 9& 10 as I would have the students pair up and make a T chart for their own misfortunes compared to those in the book. I would have students pair up to discuss. 6y
juliette_kathleen This would also utilize UDL principle 8.3 and 9.2. #UCFLAE3414SP18 6y
