1. The Bridge Builder
Will Allen Dromgoole
The message in The Bridge Builder is one of character in charity and
consideration. Consequently, I view this work as a good foundation for an
anticipatory set for one of those character words. In addition, I think it would
be the most useful to the younger grades of 2-3. During this time kids are
often self oriented. It is a good idea to increase their understanding of how
their actions can positively or negatively affect others. Furthermore, I would
be able to incorporate this into a science lesson on the laws of motion.
Specifically how energy is transferred from one object to another. This
demonstration would really increase the student’s ability to comprehend
this concept.
