The Other Side by Jacqueline Woodson


Couldn't resist another book to encouage "talk" about social issues. Again, using it as a read aloud permits all children to engage in the text no matter what their reading level. This book will encouage critical conversations focused around conflict, theme and character development. You might want to try the interactive graphic organizers. Connections to other texts such as The Story of Ruby Bridges, by Robert Coles and Through My Eyes by Ruby Bridges would be great additions to any child's library collection of books. Information on Ruby Bridges can be located by clicking on her name link.
