Book Title: "Amazing Grace"
Author: Mary Hoffman
Illustrator: Caroline Binch
Publisher: Recorded Books, Copyright 2000
Number if pages: 32
Genre: Fiction
Grace loves acting things out, and she has her heart set on the role of Peter Pan in her school play. Her classmates attempt to discourage her for a number of reasons, but like most grandmothers, Grace's Nana sends her encouraging words and makes Grace realize that she can do absolutely anything that she sets her mind to.
Binch's illustrations in this story are radiant and upbeat. They add a lot of depth and meaning to Grace's story. They appear to be made of watercolor ink, which is gorgeous enough in itself.
Grade level: 2nd grade
Content area: ELA (Craft and Structure)
Standard: 6) Acknowledge differences in the points of view of characters, including by speaking in a different voice for each character when reading dialogue aloud. [RL.2.6]
I would like to break the students into groups and give each group their own copy. I would assign them different characters to be while they read the story aloud together. I would want them to focus on the different view points each of those characters have. After they are all finished , I would want them to present to the class the differences that they found.
