I Am Gandhi | Litsy

"In a gentle way, I will shake the world." This easy-to-read but powerful Biographical picture book is a part of the New York Times bestselling biographical series, and is perfect for RA and S, especially when teaching children about famous peaceful influencers. Ghandi is a great person to talk about when discussing non-violent resistance and civil disobedience to protest discrimination, a topic that is still relevant in today's society.

jvinas2 ESOL strategies 3 & 28 are perfect while use multiple biographies of people similar to Ghandi (MLK) to help encourage positive thinking; UDL guidelines 3.1-3.3 help readers learn more about Ghandi as well. This link is an amazing resource for the book, as it has activities and worksheets that touch on Ghandi's most influential moments and actions: 7y

I Am Gandhi | Brad Meltzer

pick

I Am Gandhi by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by a Christopher Eliopoulos is a wonderful and extremely informational RA biography about the peaceful revolution of Gandhi. The book contains the story of Gandhi along with real photos and a sequenced timeline so students have a better understanding of what occurred. Attached is the books official website: http://www.ordinarypeoplechangetheworld.com/gandhi.php

KarinaGuillen This website contains additional resources and fun facts about Mahatma Gandhi for further research of his life. UDL strategy 6.3 Facilitate managing information and resources and EL strategy 28. Provide biographies of significant men and women from different countries can be utilized well with this book. Gandhi has has a huge impact on our world and it is important for students to learn about him and what he stood for. 7y

Juliemorell I'm so glad you wrote a review on this book! I just read "I am Jane Goodall" and absolutely loved it. I have a feeling that this entire series by Brad Meltzer will definitely be in my classroom library. He takes a whole different approach on biographies- in a way that makes it more interesting for kids! Love the EL strategy you used by the way, it works perfectly! 7y

DrSpalding You two making text to text connections makes me happy! The ordinary people resource is phenomenal. The timeline they provide could easily be used in a classroom on an interactive whiteboard to lay the foundation for when this individual lived and would highlight his historical significance. Excellent alignment as well. 7y

amandagrant Meltzer's "Ordinary People Change the World' series is one of my favorites. Your EL strategy is perfect! I can definitely see myself using these in my classroom 7y

I Am Gandhi | Brad Meltzer

I was SO EXCITED to meet Brad Meltzer this past Thursday! He was touring for the latest books in his “I am” series for kids (they are Wonderful), and he‘s just as warm, funny, sincere, handsome, and smart as you‘d hope. The kids in my life are getting one of these books for Christmas (but I‘m keeping the signed copies for myself)! #authorcrush #whyismyfacealwaysred #proofthatileavethehouse #alsowhyimsopoor

[DELETED] 3803335244 Sorry @LauraBrook not book related but I think your the person that was interested in genealogy on 1 of my post. Wanted to let you know thanks to a letter I found out today, I have a grandfather that fought in the Seige of Londonderry in Ireland in 1669. It was cool. Thought I'd share, since you like ancestor history. Are you on Goodreads? 7y

Bks4Wrms Your hashtags crack me up! 😂 7y

LauraBrook @ForeverNerdy Yes, that‘s me! Wow that is amazing!!! Do you actually have the letter? If so, that Would be even cooler. I am on goodreads! I mostly use it just to track what I‘ve read (and of course mark more thing TBR). Are you friends w any other Littens on GR? I think I‘m listed as Laura L, but there are a lot of those. My pic shows me kinda dressed up and smiling in front of a patterned background. 7y

LauraBrook @Alwaysbeenaloverofbooks @GondorGirl @batsy @ReadsWithTea @Kshakal @LeahBergen @Cinfhen @peaknit @Graciouswarriorprincess @Lmstraubie @Bks4Wrms Sorry, I thought I responded already! It was such a fun night - going to author signings is so much fun! And I really like going to them at Books & Co in Oconomowoc. 7y

Graciouswarriorprincess @LauraBrook I love your smile and so glad that you had fun! 7y

[DELETED] 3803335244 @LauraBrook Yes! I have the letter, I was sent the letter by a relative in MA! A distant cousin of my fathers. She gave me lots of other stuff too. So neat. I just thought goodreads would be a better place to message about our genealogy finds. I'll look you up. I'm on there as forevernerdy37 with my same profile pic. 7y
