Description
When I Was Eight is an intense story about a young girl who attends a Canadian Residential School. This interactive read aloud is the perfect Orange Shirt Day reading activity. Alternatively, add it to your Reading Workshop as a mentor text any time throughout the year in order to incorporate meaningful history into your reading lessons.
This is the perfect interactive read aloud if you are trying to introduce residential schools to your upper elementary or junior high students. This book facilitates great discussion and is a good way to introduce students to residential schools. Students are able to relate to characters in a book so much more than little paragraphs in a textbook. Therefore, reading stories about residential schools helps to build empathy and understanding in our students. Furthermore, the illustrations in this book are quite captivating and will help your English Language Learners to develop a more complete understanding of this Social Studies concept.
