and unique the speeches all the more heartfelt and important in these hard times the pura belpré award ceremony each honoree spoke with pain and hope about their work and the current horrific situation on our borders the caldecott newbery legacy awards banquet a memorable evening with outstanding speeches from caldecott winner sophie blackwell and newbery winner meg medina for me it was christopher myers legacy award speech on behalf of his departed father the one and only walter dean myers that stood out the most the printed version is wonderful but chris had more to say during his

followed the discussion of the finale with interest as it is so in the public right now the following from this article caught my attention yet how many readers have fallen for and fallen into tolkien and rowling s worlds only to let out a disbelieving protest in the final pages gollum would never have stumbled with the ring into mount doom voldemort s death makes no sense huh is my response the ending of harry potter wasn t about voldemort but other things and it was hotly debated by fans but lord of the rings i was unaware that there was any debate or discontent about gollum and the ring it felt right and satisfying and fitting to the rest of the story i think more of my irritation with the ending of lost another television show with a following if not on the level of got fringe was far more successful for me thinking of others and will be back you share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook share on tumblr opens in new window tumblr

connected stem unit for my 4th grade students around refugees with my school s engineering chair dr michael sloan warren early on i suggested we center it around andrea davis pinkney s beautiful verse novel the red pencil which i had reviewed for the new york times we also used a number of refugee centered picture books among them some i also reviewed for the times having recently finished running the unit we are thrilled with how well it turned out and can t wait to do it again next year here s what i wrote for the school s website edinger house 4th graders delved into a unique unit combining literature study with stem after an introduction to refugees and displaced people now and in the past they were given andrea davis pinkney s the red pencil an award winning verse novel set during the darfur conflict in sudan and reviewed in the new york times by ms edinger working in groups students used their annotating skills introduced earlier in the year during the e b white unit to read discuss and reflect on protagonist amira s difficult journey in preparation for the stem component students were asked along with their annotating to fill out empathy maps a technique used by designers to better understand the needs of others these proved to be wonderful tools when it came to digging deep into amira s experience as students transitioned to the stem portion of the unit dalton s engineering chair dr warren asked them to look closely at amira s experience just before she was given a gift that made all the difference for her a red pencil students were then given a new task to work through the engineering process with another fictional refugee they were given new empathy maps each centered on a single image from one of three compelling books about the refugee experience nicola davies and rebecca cobb s the day the war came francesca sanna s the journey and don brown s the unwanted using the image and the accompanying information each group worked through a process to come up with a gift for their new users one that would have the same impact the red pencil had for amira they designed and then built prototypes using constructive feedback to improve or rework them the students focus thinking creativity and empathy on display throughout this process was remarkable at the end each group shared their process and prototypes students are now completing blog posts that document their experience and learning meantime take a look at the photos below for a taste of this extraordinary learning experience our great thanks to dr warren for working since last year with ms edinger to design the unit and lead the stem components please go here to see photos of kids at work an empathy map their prototypes and more the prototypes include a comforting enclosure and a sleeping bag for the frightened and lonely girl from nicola davies and rebecca cobb s the day the war came vehicles one including a map on the interior walls for the mother and children from francesca sanna s the journey and a welcome home kit including spices and games as well as some other objects for the family from don brown s the unwanted fyi each group was given a single image along with a few pieces of information i read aloud the books in total after the unit was over share this share on x opens in new window x share on facebook opens in new window facebook
