This book was such a great read, and I highly recommend having this book in your classroom as it will surely enrich your students‘ awareness of different cultures. In addition, Janet Graber did an excellent job of using the setting and location of this story as a focal point in detailing Muktar‘s life and the struggles of living in Kenya and Somalia during this time.

Emma_Barcena This text's genre is HF. This book has not received any awards. This text would best be used as a S in the classroom alongside this resource where students can create a story map after the S is over to support their comprehension of the story and recognizing the author's purpose in writing it.

Emma_Barcena The UDL Principles 3.2 & 9.1 in regard to highlighting big ideas and promoting expectation to optimize motivation can be used alongside EL 6 & 14 to ensure comprehension is occurring when storytelling by simplifying speech and reading slowly with this text being used. #UCFLAE3414su20 (edited) 5y
DrSpalding You initially did these back before the pandemic when you could go to the CMC. Once we have the option to use that resource again, be sure to check out amazing books for your students. The story map is an excellent post reading or storytelling activity. 4y
