Students will learn reading strategies such as annotating, margin notes, and keeping a reading log. These skills help the students remember what they read, as well as making connections to what they read. We will also include artwork in our reading logs! Students will also learn strategies for writing and making connections as they read. These are important skills for continuing on into high school and college (I teach reading and writing in college!).
See Sources: the book is available on Amazon.
This novel is about a wealthy Mexican girl who is thrust into poverty after her papa is killed. She and her mother become migrant workers in California in order to survive. It also deals with the rich versus the poor, the southern workers vs. the Mexican workers, and strikes.
Students will need a copy of "Esperanza Rising", by Pam Munoz Ryan.
