These stories will be used with a group of Second Language Learners to incorporate in our units of study. I will be posting read-alouds for my students with these stories. We will engage in daily distance learning meetings. These fantastic stories will be read to my students with follow up class discussions and journal responses. These texts help generate social awareness, cultural sensitivity, personal acceptance, and individual empowerment. Students will read, write, learn vocabulary, engage in personal discussions, as well as complete the end of the unit project each week.
