In the Year Of the Boar and Jackie Robinson Scrapbook Extension Activity
I made this Immigration Scrapbook activity as a companion project to In the Year of the Boar and Jackie Robinson by Bette Bao Lord (check out my novel study, also listed in my TPT store).

This power point has several examples of how the authors of some Time For Kids articles cite their sources. With the push for students to write in argumentative mode and use text evidence, this is a critical skill to teach even in the elementary grades.
