Funded Sep 16, 2020I am so excited to use these core literature books with my students! I will be passing out the books to them at a material pick up later in December. We will begin reading it in January, after our winter break.
This is such a great book for teaching about character development, setting, problem and solution, and many literary devices. The students also learn a little bit about the history of our country because it is set in the late 1800s.
We will read the book together during our zoom classes and have discussions about the reading. I use this book every year and the students absolutely love it! It really keeps them all engaged. My hope is that it will have the same effect this year, even though we are online. By putting actual books in the students' hands, I hope to get the students' eyes off the screen for part of our class. I also want those who have never read a book cover to cover to have that feeling of satisfaction and accomplishment that comes with doing so.
Thank you for making all of this possible for my students!”
With gratitude,
Ms. Perez
