BUYING ADVISORY: EL - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Ms. Chang gives her class an assignment - to think about this question and be prepared to have a class discussion: "Imagine that your home is on fire. You're allowed to save one thing." From a special sweater to a large collection to a whole bookcase, the children discuss what is important and why. They even manage to influence each other.
Linda Sue Park's collection of Korean sijo poems is beautiful! I liked seeing the tiny piece of the students represented by what was important to them. I learned so much in so few words. One student said he'd take nothing, and I understood why. My first thought - ooh, this would be a great lesson to replicate. A short read with a class, great topics for further discussions, and it just screams - try this yourself!
