| Looking for a great picture book to address bullying? Racism? Leadership? Getting along with others? Patricia Polacco's book, Mr Lincoln's Way, is one of my favourites, and the kids enjoy it, too. Last year, I developed a Smart Board lesson for this book, which includes a section for pre-teaching some vocabulary, and a guided picture walk, as well as some rich thinking questions for the grand conversation after the read-aloud. |
This book is definitely worth spending three days with. I find it most beneficial for Grades 3 -5 (and the lesson plan posted here is intended for that age range), but it could probably used with other ages as well.
We started reading this book this morning... will follow up tomorrow and Monday; stay tuned to Alex and Simon's blogs for some follow-up writing assignments! :)
