Ear, the Eye, and the Arm | Nancy Farmer

#ucflae3414f19 The Ear, the Eye, and the Arm is a children's science fiction novel written by Nancy Farmer. This tells a story of a chief general leading a battle against the gangs which terrorize the nation in 2194. This book would be great as an IR for grade levels 4-5.

Erinehart https://www.shmoop.com/the-ear-the-eye-the-arm/ This is a great resource for this text to get a better insight of what the text is about as it provides a summary. 5y

Erinehart The UDL strategy that I would use for this novel is 2.1 “Clarify vocabulary and symbols.“ Since this is science fiction, there are some vocabulary words that may be unfamiliar to the students.
An ESOL strategy that would be great for this text is #9 “Teach note-taking strategies: T-lists, time lines etc.“ 5y

DrSpalding This definitely looks like a middle grade novel and could be used as a literature circle or as you noted independent reading. 5y
