Greensboro Sit in Books: Use an Adult's Book and Children's Book in your Lessons

 

Teachers must know background to teach students in order to create the most appropriate lesson(s) or be able to answer any question asked by a student. As an educator, I try to find the best adult book and the best children's book possible on a historical topic, person, or event. The children's book engages the students and gives them the most important points to know about the topic, person, or event. I love children's books because they are beautifully illustrated. The adult book is my resource book. I find out other important details that were not covered in the children's book and put those details into a lesson to further expand my student's knowledge. The resource book allows me to integrate my social studies topic with other subjects. For my Greensboro Sit in Lessons, I used Lunch at the Five and Dime by Miles Wolff for the adult book. I also used Freedom on the Menu by Carole Boston Weatherford for the children's book. Click the title of the book to buy the book(s) from Barnes and Nobles.
