Summary: |
|
| Spare text and very moving photographs recount times surrounding Brown vs. Board of Education school desegregation from the perspective of children. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Teachers may want to use a K-W-L strategy to see what students know about the famous Supreme Court decision. Copy change with other archival photos about other historical periods would work well. Text is easy to read (although beginning and end pieces are a bit more challenging, so teacher may want to read aloud) and so would work well in a text set about civil rights or education or African American history. Since the book is told from the first person voices of the children involved, it is a good model for writing in perspectives/point-of-view. | |
