Thank You, Omu! | Oge Mora

#UCFLAE3414F19
Thank You, Omu! by Oge Mora is a Ezra Jack Keats, Caledecott and Coretta Scott King book award winner. This RF picture book is an amazing story about a Omu and her bowl of stew. This book has an amazing message about sharing that I think would be wonderful for a RA! Discussion questions for this book can be found here: https://thestorybooklady.com/thank-you-omu/

GroeningsC UDL: 7.2, by asking questions that connect the book to the students lives.
ESOL: 22, when asking discussion questions be sure to allow enough wait time for English learners. 5y

CPettersen I also had this book. I like the UDL you linked to this book. I think this would be a wonderful story to have children connect to their own lives. (edited) 5y

#UCFLAE3414F19
I Wont Eat That by Christopher Silas Neal, is a MF PB about a cat who refuses to eat cat food and goes on a journey asking any animals he can find, what they eat. I would use this book as a RA. This book is a great introduction on what different animals eat and a activity can be found here: https://www.teachingbooks.net/clp.cgi?master_id=60994&lf_id=9

GroeningsC UDL: 7.2, relate the cat being a picky eater to the students life, asking what they like and dislike!

The Giver | Lois Lowry

pick

This SF 1994 Newbery Medal winner novel by Lois Lowry tells about a 12-year-old boy named Jonas who lives in a dystopian society that is colorless, ideal, free of crime and sadness. At that age, children are assigned jobs/roles, which they will train and do for the rest of their lives limiting the choice of an individual. The society is controlled by rules and tradition of the Elders.

sbombasi Jonas wanted change and made a sacrificial choice for the good of the community. This would be good IR/LC read.

This lesson plan allows students to think deeper about philosophical issues like the book, students would share their own experiences of distinctive memories growing up, have discussions about them and reflect on self-assessment.
https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/lesson-plans/teaching-content/giver-lesson-p... 5y

sbombasi The UDL principle 9.3 develop self-assessment and reflection along with EL #4 link lesson topic to students‘ prior knowledge align well with this. #ucflae3414f19 5y
