Genre: Historical Fiction
Chapter Book
For this post I used the website "http://bighugelabs.com/flickr" to create collages of the time period described in the book. I got the idea of using collages to exemplify social injustice from the book "Romare Bearden: Collage of Memories". By creating a collage that makes images look like modern day pictures, it shows that what was described in the book was real and not solely written for a novel. I think it would be effective for students to choose aspects of this novel that they found most impacting for them. The main character Jessie Bollier is thirteen years old, an age not too distant for students in the upper Elementary grades. What he experiences on the slave ship might prove to be emotionally tolling for some students and creating a visual reflection would be another outlet in which to reflect.
