This picture-book presents the moving true story of the Yamaki White Pine, a four-hundred-year-old bonsai tree that survived the bombing of Hiroshima, and was eventually given to the United States as a bicentennial gift, becoming known as the Peace Tree.

The Peace Tree from Hiroshima is a HF book about a tree that survived the bombing of Hiroshima. The family is learning new secrets about the bombing and how it affected them throughout the story. I would use this book as RA to discuss the historical events of what happens throughout the book. The resource I found is an easy breakdown of what took place in WWII so students will have some background information on what happened. #UCFLAE3414SU19

The UDL I would use is 1.3 I would pull up a map and show students where the war took place. I would also use ESOL strategy #42 so students can see how and when the war was happening. (edited) 6y
DrSpalding I am guessing you found this in the CMC, correct? I have added this to my stack. I have mentioned Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes… These two books would make for excellent text to text connections. YES... to pulling up a world map and sharing geographical information with your students. Whenever you can embed these skills as they apply, do it! 6y
