Sulwe is a beautiful picture book and part autobiography of actress Lupita Nyong’o’s journey of accepting herself for her own beautiful skin tone. It’s great for the primary classroom! After enjoying your personal copy of the book, this resource compliments the story with four response and/or enrichment activities that allow students to practice their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Each Google slide comes with a voice recording of the directions so that students can navigate the resource independently. There are additional teacher supports embedded to help you facilitate a differentiated experience for many learners at all levels. All pages are linked to the main page for a student-led, blended learning experience. Great for beginners and technology novices!
What sets us apart?! Our products are made for students to practice ALL FOUR LITERACY DOMAINS – listening, speaking, reading and writing. In these 4 different activities students will be doing all four, multiple times. Directions for preparing and differentiating the product are included for more novice teachers.
For optimal use, we recommend that you download any external resources linked (any documents, slides, etc) before sharing with students and relinking with your district share settings. This ensures your students are clicking on district-protected links and not links from my account. [This isn’t required, but just helpful for link sharing!]
Our students have LOVED these fun activities while we read the book throughout the week, and our ELL students have really “found their voice” as we support them in language acquisition while also building empathy for each other and our language needs. It’s exciting to see them so involved with their learning at their own pace. It’s my deepest hope that your students will love it, too!
As with all Brandy Alexander EDU purchases, we are here to help you and just an email away in case you need additional support implementing your resource.
