This Newbury Award winning novel by Scott O'Dell will be a great addition to my unit on the Westward expansion. It shows many of the interactions between a Navajo tribe and white soldiers and settlers who force them from their homeland. It is told through the perspective of a Navajo girl who my students may be able to relate to. This could be a good choice for a read aloud book.
Greta,
ReplyDeleteI think it's a great idea to have this book from the perspective of a young girl. This looks like one I would be interested in reading!
Greta,
ReplyDeleteGreat pick! The connections between the Navajo tribe, white soldiers and settlers will be unlimited!
