The students will be reading the classic book, "The Watson's Go to Birmingham." At my Title One school, many of my students are focused not on school, but on basic needs. They are worried about food, shelter, family, etc. Their education comes after their other needs have been fulfilled. With this book, I will teach my students about life in the Civil war era and struggles of other children. I will reach my students by teaching them social skills and strategies, while integrating language arts. The book has a large emphasis on strong family bonds, perseverance and dealing with adversity in the face of tragedy. Many of my students deal with these things everyday, especially in the area they live in. I hope to provide students the ability to succeed in their lives, by giving them opportunities to relate to others that have persevered through trials.
