#SongsOfSummer Day 17: Fays‘ review: “Alice loved being in Sanibel Island (where it is #BrighterThanTheSun) not only for the shells, but also for the people she‘d be spending her birthday with. Junonia is more than just the beautiful description of the beach. It is a story about growing up and finding oneself. It is a story of every ten-year-old. It is a story of you and me.” Her review: https://wp.me/pDlzr-4Vs

Jun onia by Kevin Henkes is a realistic novel I can have in my classroom for independent reading. This is a story about a girl who goes on a beach vacation with her parents. The week they go, Alice turns the 10 years old, and this is a big deal! She wants nothing more than to have the best birthday and to find a junonia shell.

ChristinB When Aunt Kate comes and brings her new boyfriend and his daughter Alice just knows her birthday will not be going as she planned, will Alice find the junonia? I will utilize UDL 7.1, optimize individual choice and autonomy. As well as ESOL strategy 16, I can have the students fill out a reading log and have them present the log to the class or to just me. I can use the Kevin Hankes website at https://kevinhenkes.com/novels/junonia/ (edited) 7y
ChristinB As it has activities and a teaching guide to make this a whole group reading. 7y
