- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 29 ธ.ค. 2024
- Friday, April 29, 2022 - In this week’s First Chapter Friday video word nerd Amanda Zieba shares the award winning novel in verse Brown Girl Dreaming. She also shares a writing tip from the poet author, Jaqueline Woodson, and an activity for students who want to improve their poetry writing skills (using this book and Breakout by Kate Messner). Be sure to watch the whole video to learn the mystery quote sprinkled throughout the read aloud, one… word… at… a… time.
Book Blurb: Raised in South Carolina and New York, Woodson always felt halfway home in each place. In vivid poems, she shares what it was like to grow up as an African American in the 1960s and 1970s, living with the remnants of Jim Crow and her growing awareness of the Civil Rights movement. Touching and powerful, each poem is both accessible and emotionally charged, each line a glimpse into a child’s soul as she searches for her place in the world. Woodson’s eloquent poetry also reflects the joy of finding her voice through writing stories, despite the fact that she struggled with reading as a child. Her love of stories inspired her and stayed with her, creating the first sparks of the gifted writer she was to become.
