I created one for HS students who need to amplify their voice through argumentation but I could use what you have to show the SPED department your work with credit to you and your colleague. The graphic novel work would be appropriate for these students. I also like what Tabatha provided. I would suggest sharing the book Christmas in the Trenches by John McCutcheon. It is based on the true story from 1914. He wrote a song about it too: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9coPzDx6tA and here's another version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QTXhZ4uR6rs. I am definitely incorporating the picture book and songs in my lesson and I thank you for giving me the inspiration to continue to research further. <br />Carol Varsalonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02589714711155938528noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3682499942234804128.post-26442881191867564792018-02-09T16:47:22.491-05:002018-02-09T16:47:22.491-05:00Great idea for active learning, Linda!
