Teaching Ideas: |
|||||||||
| This 97-page book could be used with picture books that are set in the U.S. and about WW II (like Stevenson's Don't You Know There's a War On? or Mochizuki's Baseball Saved Us). The reminiscent tone of the book may spark storytelling or journal writing. Students may want to think about and discuss pacifism and lessons learned from war. | |||||||||
