Old Turtle | 
pickOld Turtle, by Douglas Wood, is a HF book based around the idea of religion, who God is, and how animals see him, and how people see him. This story portrays a time when humans did not exist yet, and nature would argue about who God is, and how he moves through them. When humans came, they lost sight of who God is, and that they were a message of peace and love. The World was the never the same. #ucflae3414su20
CameoD An Abby Book of the Year, this book teaches children to take care of the Earth and value their beliefs. UDL principles 7.2 and 8.3 align with this book, it is authentic, relatable for kids, and it would allow them to feel a sense of community. Esol strategy 42 would be beneficial to use with this book, to show students understanding of the book. 4y
CameoD This lesson plan I found as a resource, is mire geared towards an older audience, but sometimes it‘s good for students to hear about more adult topics. Instead of using these particular discussion questions, you could have a class discussion about humanity and some of the issues we face. https://www.quakercloud.org/sites/default/files/attachments/Lesson%20from%20a%20... 4y
CameoD https://www.cofchrist.org/common/cms/resources/Documents/Lessons-for-Young-Kids-... is another terrific resource, if teaching a lesson about the book in a religious capacity. This book would be more suited for a Christian, or religious school. 4y
DrSpalding I agree this could be a wonderful title for use in a religious school setting. This would not be considered historical fiction. Often times biblical books fall under traditional literature. Check your flipbook. No teaching strategy? 4y
