pick#JuneItsElectrifying Day 30: We #ScoreTonight and every night each time women are afforded the same rights as men. Bobbi‘s courage and persistence forever changed the way society viewed female athletes. Truly an inspiring story that deserves to be in every classroom.

pick“The Girl Who Ran: Bobbi Gibb” is a bibliography written by Frances Poletti and Kristina Yee, and illustrated by Susanna Chapman. This inspiring picture book describes how Gibb‘s determination and perseverance open doors for countless women of today. In the 1960s, many individuals frowned upon women taking lead roles. And true equality was not in practice for many folks (including women, people of different ethnicity, religion, and etc.).
pickGlosses over the abuse she received, but overall, it‘s a cute book. ⭐️⭐️⭐️
pickBobbi Gibb loves to run and when she sees the Boston Marathon runners for the first time she knows she has to be a part of it. This book with vivid watercolors that accompany narration and couplets is a great way to get students into biographies. Best used as a DR, this B about perseverance through adversity is a great addition to any classroom. I would use UDL strategy 2.2 to clarify couplets and narration and EL 4 to link prior knowledge
