My students really enjoyed the book Wilma Unlimited. It tells the story of Wilma Rudolph. I found this youtube video that tied in perfectly. By just watching this 11 minute video, we were able to compare/contrast what we learned from the book and the video. We also compared the differences of reading the book vs watching the video. Most of them said they enjoyed the book more, which I was happy to hear. Another huge advantage was reaching some of my lower readers and autistic students in a way that they related. (They made up most of the group that said they liked the video better.)Here's the link to the story Wilma Rudolph Story.
I am also going to add the digital book I found to my iPad. Here's the link Wilma Unlimited, youtube digital book . A possible center project??
