Great resource!! Highly recommended

How I Use It

I have used three different stories so far with my students (Aji, Valdo, and Jenissa). Each time, as a class we take turns reading a caption from the slideshow about the child's life. I have used the questions from the teacher guide to check for understanding. I am always blown away at how those questions promote good discussions and connections. Then I have my students individually complete a writing prompt found in the extension activities. Usually the prompts require students to compare or contrast an aspect of their life to the child they just learned about. My students love learning about these children around the world. If I had more time or more access to technology in my classroom, I could use these lessons very differently.
