Brown Girl Dreaming-Part 2

Recipe for Jacqueline Woodson

1 cup of Family 
1/2 cup of Activism 
Pinch of South Carolina
2 cups of Civil Rights Acts
1/4 cup of Religion
6 cups of Story Telling







Poem:


  Jacqueline Woodson, you inspire many to read your book.
 The way you speak up, write, and share a story 
Invading our minds while holding the book
Always advocating for change

Let me compare you to Rosa Park?
You are more like her than we think
Tears flood the eyes of the reader 
And the new year has the chance to change

How do you still have love? Let me count the ways.
Your heart, mouth, mind
Thinking of your mind fills my day 
The love you have spread throughout the world is so unspeakable

Now I must go and grab your book
Remembering your words and the change that you have sparked

Final

  1-Arguments against children’s literature are very unrealistic let’s be honest. When You hear something like “we can’t afford thirty or fort copies of something we don’t know.” Makes you as a district look like you don’t care. Brown Girl Dreaming is a book that children in our district are able to relate to and just because you don’t does mean it gives you the right to not allow it to be in the curriculum that we are teaching. I know many of my students have actually had personal connections to the book and that why I think it’s important to include this book in our school district.

Have you chosen not to know anything about it? The fact of this one is that the child that is learning this has had experience with it and heard about it. I think this is such an easy way to avoid teaching topics that our students may know more a...

Unit Plan Plan

 Week One: Week Two; Week three: Week Four: I think I plan to do my unit project on the book Don't Call Me Crazy I wrote bullet points on what I think I choose to include.  1. During the first week I would do an introduction to mental health and start reading the book  2. During the second week I would have them take one of the stories and really dive into their own self and figure out what they can relate to and have them teach a small group. This would then lead to some discussions. 3. Third week I would have them do a project around the story of their choice and I would make sure to have the projects all setup and assigned to each piece of work.  4. The last week I would have them create a project that takes one of the stories that they felt like they will remember the most and create a dream board kind of project to show how it impacted them and how they won't forget it.
