We always read 40 Acres and Maybe a Mule to help teach Reconstruction. I love Maniac Magee, as mentioned above. It has a lot of figurative language and deals with racial segregation. Last year, I was introduced to the book Wonder. My students BEGGED me to read. I have never had that positive of a response over a novel. I was tickled pink!

She is a great resource for teaching writing. In Massachusetts our state test involves a lengthy writing test which is usually a personal narrative. I also got a grant for The Walking Classroom (mp3 players which come with many lessons downloaded) which I'll blog about soon.

When I struggled with my 5th grade readers to understand what helps signal the theme in their books, the signposts would have been amazing to partner with instruction. I also noticed these signposts in several movies I've seen since reading it - movie clips could be used to kick off several of the signpost lessons. I've selected a couple of my typical 5th grade novels to read this summer to focus my attention on the signposts and what questions come because of them. A must read with practical applications!teach5mnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12055391928930349988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1110101641852603173.post-36453074096770521422013-06-14T08:11:54.895-07:002013-06-14T08:11:54.895-07:00 This is so cool..thanks so much for the info.
