Title: Dreams in the Golden Country (Dear America)
The Diary of Zipporah Feldman, a Jewish Immigrant Girl
Author: Kathryn Lasky
This book would be great to introduce Russia, Jewish customs, or immigration. It can show students the struggles of immigrants and what they do to become part of our nation. A great way to do this lesson would have each student act as an immigrant and come to ask for "permisson" to enter the country. They each have a box with their belongings and the reasons why they should be allowed to enter the country. It would show them what people go through and also help them be creative when learning about other people and diversity.
I thought the animoto would be good for this because it gives a picture glimpse into what the story is telling about. There are no pictures, so it can give students a visual for what the book is talking about at certain points. The last slide, the acting masks, is done because Zippy becomes an actress in a school play and it really helps her to adjust. This can be incorporated into a lesson to have students show what has helped them adjust to different situations such as moving or coming to school.
