|
| Faced with discrimination for being Korean-American in the 1930s did not deter Sammy Lee from wanting to become an Olympic diver - a dream he realized with great determination. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Keeping a CHARACTER JOURNAL would build understanding and empathy for the challenges of this real life "character" - particularly to develop a "what would i do if..." format. ----- If read in chunks over time ADMIT AND EXIT SLIPS could be used to develop response writing and build deeper understanding of not only the historical injustices but the great determination of Sammy Lee. ---- Discussion would allow readers to continue processing this fabulous real life story of overcoming challenges sand could be structured through a THINK-PAIR- SHARE format.---- TIMELINES of events in Sammy's life and events in the history of the United States would help to build historical context for events. | |
