Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
By Judy

|
My third graders love it, but it's a little sad even though the story really happened. I do this in May because the story begins with the celebration of Japan's Memorial Day (which remembers the people killed during the atomic bomb). This is actually celebrated in August, and there are usually newsclips of the activities in Japan. Also it's a great tie-in with our own celebration of Memorial Day. We eat sushi, use chopsticks, and study culture as well as make an origami paper crane.
Have fun. This is one of my favorite units.
