<div dir="ltr">What an excellent book. It sparks clearly appropriate and important conversations for all ages to have. I talked about some poetry elements like rhyme, alliteration, and repetition.
I also pointed out a few figures from the illustrations of people they might recognize and talked about Langston Hughes specifically because he went to school in a town near us. I answered all questions that were asked. Students are hungry for knowledge, understanding, and acceptance. They have so many questions. Let's not squash them or pretend they don't exist. <div><br></div><div><br></div></div><br><div class="gmail_quote"><div dir="ltr" class="gmail_attr">On Mon, Feb 8, 2021 at 8:48 AM Wyatt, Paula via AISLE <<a href="mailto:aisle@list.railslibraries.info">aisle@list.railslibraries.info</a>> wrote:<br></div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0px 0px 0px 0.8ex;border-left:1px solid rgb(204,204,204);padding-left:1ex"><div dir="ltr">I loved this book.

I'm having a bit of a freeze as to how to present the Monarch nominee, The Undefeated, to my K and 1st grade students. We are totally remote and need 30 minutes. I want to highlight black history but struggling with trying to keep it age appropriate. Any black history ideas willing to share for remote out there for k-2?
