It has made a difference in how students care and ownership of the books, and their engagement in reading when they are able to annotate the texts.\r\n\r\nWe are about a third of the way through the novel, and students are loving it. They are learning through a historical fiction text about the lives of Indigenous people in the United States. The setting is 1932, with a boy and his pop living as hoboes. They've lost their farm because of The Great Depression, and Pop is now on his way to March on Washington to fight for military bonuses for those who served in WWI. Since it is too dangerous for an 11-year old Cal, Cal is sent to Challagi Indian School, were his father attended. \r\n\r\nThrough this book, students have been learning about The Great Depression, the Trail of Tears, The Meriam Report, and the challenges faced by Indigenous peoples. Through nonfiction reading and annotation of the books, the students have developed skills in critical thinking, whole group discussion, developing claims and determining key pieces of evidence. I believe their growth in these skills would not be as great if not for the ability to engage with their own copy of the text. \r\n\r\n\r\nThank you so much.
