Yesterday, nine of us met over Zoom to discuss our book project and our next steps. We have chosen five final books and have created individual and interesting curriculums. For each one, we have pre-reading discussion prompts and questions and during or post-reading prompts questions and activities. Our five final choices are "My Daddy" by MLK Jr, "Ambitious Girl" by Meena Harris, "A Kid's Book About Racism" by Jelani Memory, "The Youngest Marcher: The Story of Audrey Faye Hendricks, a Young Civil Rights Activist" by Cynthia Levinson, and "The Undefeated" by Kwame Alexander. We are excited by our list and cannot wait to put our plans into action! In the next couple of weeks, we are having a meeting with NEA and will be reaching out to schools all over Vermont.
In other news, we will likely be having a Welcome Meeting on March 13th, this is subject to change but we hope to invite everyone who is interested to join our meeting and get to know us and what we do! If you'd like to be apart of this meeting, let us know in the comments, and be sure to sign up for our emails. Also, don't forget to follow us on Instagram for even more information! Do you have any ideas for books for older students? Let us know in the comments!
