#AutumnPlease! Day 14: #NationalChessDay The story begins with a very brief introduction of young Jake, and his neighbourhood in Harlem: from the preacher in the corner to the old men playing chess and checkers in the streets, “balancing the boards on their knees.” My review here: https://wp.me/pDlzr-lAT

This gorgeous B picture book follows the young Jacob Lawrence as he finds artistic inspiration in Harlem, where he lives with his family. Teaching strategies to be used could be RA, RT, and GR.

juliek1 UDL: 7.2 Optimize relevance, value, and authenticity; the book would be relevant to any student who is interested in being an artist, as well as those who have grown up in areas that are less than ideal. It shows them that great things can come from humble beginnings. 7y

juliek1 ELL Strat: 12. Teach to two objectives, language and content; this book has plenty of new language to learn, but would also help in teaching students who are not familiar with Harlem what the artist grew up around. #ucflae3413f17 7y
