Grand Canyon by Jason Chin is such a fascinating NF book to introduce children to one of the most amazing landmarks in the world! It also won the Caldecott award! It highlights ESOL strategy # 9 and UDL principle # 9.2.

karamank I would use this book in my classroom as an IR so students can focus on the amazing graphics and absorb the interesting facts independtly. I also think this would be a great opportunity to have students take notes on the facts they thought were the most interesting through out the story. There are some great lesson plans offered here: https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=52883#ActivityGuides #lae3414sp19 5y

Olsonashley19 The illustrations in this book look amazing! I like the idea of having this book in each students hands. 5y

Girl Who Drank the Moon | Kelly Barnhill

pick

The Girl Who Drank the Moon is a F book that is great for upper class elementary schoolers and even for adults! It can be used for IR or for a LC in the classroom. This Newberry Award winning book is full of mystery and will keep you curious. It follows a girl named Luna who was supposed to be sacrificed as a baby to an evil witch. She is now starting to learn that she is full of magic. You‘ll have to read to find out what happens next!

MNelson98 ESOL strategies 2 and 16 can be used well in a LC. UDL 9.1, 7.1 and 8.1 can also be encouraged through a LC. This website provides some resources and lesson plans on the book: https://www.teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=51541&a=1#ActivityGu... #lae3414sp19 (edited) 5y

DrSpalding This is a very cool book that could be used as a literature circle… As you saw in class. It could also be an independent read. 5y

Juana and Lucas | Juana Medina

pick

#ucflae3414f17 this RF by Juana Medina is a great story about a young girl living in Bogatá, Colombia. She loves many things, but she is not a very big fan of school—especially learning English. However, she soon finds out that she is going on a trip where she will have to understand the language. This Pura Belpre award winner is a great addition to 2nd and 3rd grade classroom libraries. The teaching strategy I chose to use is Partner Reading.

Radams I think that students would have fun reading and learning about Juana and relating to her experiences together. I would use UDL 8.3 ‘foster collaboration and community‘ by having students read and work together. I would use EL 2 ‘promote cooperation‘ and EL 6 ‘continually monitor students‘ compression‘. Teachingbooks.net/tb.cgi?tid=51267&a=1#ActivityGuides has great lesson ideas to go along with partner reading. 6y
