Description
This activity follows the completion of a read aloud of the illustrated book Hold On to Your Music: The Inspiring True Story of the Children of Willesden Lane. Students will listen to the reading of the story a second time to focus on examples of courage and hope, and to discover additional nuances and aspects of the story that strengthen their comprehension and vocabulary development. Students will also watch testimony from Eric Richmond who describes how he did not want to go on the Kindertransport. Students will determine how he showed courage and hope. By the end of this activity students will identify an example of a lesson they have learned from Lisa Jura and explain how they can apply that lesson in their own lives.
