Good Conversations!: A Talk with Clare Vanderpool
A good choice for any middle school without the time or budget to bring an author on-site.
Unlocking Your Potential: Grit, Determination, and Mindset
With PDF pretests and posttests and 10 different activity sheets, this DVD is a "grab and go" class lesson on determination and positive personal growth.
9/11 and the War on Terror: A Documentary and Reference Guide
Consider where Greenwood "Documentary and Reference Guides" are in use or where an assignment is tailored to the coverage areas of this book.
A Kids' Guide to America's First Ladies
Krull brings to life the diverse personalities of her subjects and shines light on lesser-known first ladies who may not have dedicated middle grade biographies of their own.
Resisting the Holocaust: Upstanders, Partisans, and Survivors
This well-researched and nicely presented single-volume reference is an excellent introduction to the varied forms of Holocaust resistance. Teachers could use the primary source documents to create assignments or deepen understanding. Consider for any high school or college reference section.
Children of Syria
Occasional disturbing images (a dead body that may be that of the father, many scenes with guns, parental smoking) make this most suitable for high school history, current events, and global issue classes.
All Four Stars
A sweet and undemanding listen. Gladys can come across as occasionally annoyingly superior, but what young gourmet wouldn't be frustrated with parents who love white bread and low-calorie mayo and whose every meal is nuked in a microwave? ["Give this one to your young foodies": SLJ 5/14 review of the Putnam book.]
Boy & the World
Many sections are ideal for younger viewers on a purely visual and auditory level. Older viewers could explore perceptions of the story line and the message of the film. Consider also for visual art, graphic design, and animation classes.
Only Yesterday
The film is a joy to watch, though difficult to tie to most American curricula, but it's an excellent choice for animation classes and for all public libraries.
