FAITH FORMATION AND SAINT CECILIA CATHOLIC SCHOOL
Annotated Book List – 5th/6th Grade
Last week I observed 5th/6th graders engaging in class discussion about the book A Single Shard. I was so impressed by the students’ knowledge and understanding of the novel along with their capacity to build on one another’s responses during class discussion. Our students are in the habit of discussing novels. I observed the following:
Student talk reflects discipline-specific knowledge and ways of thinking. Students provide evidence to support their thinking. Students press on thinking to expand ideas for themselves and others (5D+ Rubric for Instructional Growth and Teacher Evaluation, U. of WA).
Below is the annotated book list compiled by our teacher, Mrs. Alexis Anjomshoaa-Brown. These books are the foundation of our 2019-2020 Language Arts curriculum in 5th/6th grade.
The Golden Goblet by: Eloise Jarvis McGraw Ranofer struggles to thwart the plotting of his evil brother, Gebu, so he can become master goldsmith like their father in this exciting tale of Ancient Egyptian mystery and intrigue.
Tirzah by: Lucille Travis Tirzah's people, the Israelites, have been in slavery to the Egyp-tians for many years. She observes the suffering of her people and injustices that are done to them by the Egyptians. Then Moses begs Pharaoh to let them go.
Number the Stars by: Lois Lowry This book is an historical fiction about the escape of a Jewish fam-ily from Copenhagen, Denmark during World War II.
A Single Shard by: Linda Sue Park An orphan boy lives in a Korean potters' village famed for delicate celadon ware becomes fascinated with the potter's craft and dreams of learning the craft.
The Secret of the Andes by: Ann Nolan Clark An Indigenous boy who tends llamas in a hidden valley in Peru learns the traditions and secrets of his Inca ancestors.
Esperanza Rising by: Pam Munoz Ryan The story follows Esperanza Ortega who at the beginning of the novel is a wealthy girl living in a mansion in Mexico with her lov-ing family. Sudden tragedy forces Esperanza and her mom to flee to California and settle in a Mexican farm labor camp.
The Boy Who Harnessed the Wind by: William Kamkwamba When a terrible drought struck William Kamkwamba's tiny village in Malawi, his family lost all the season's crop, leaving them with nothing to eat and nothing to sell. William began to explore sci-ence books in his village library, looking for a solution. There, he came up with the idea that would change his family's life forever: he could build a windmill.
With awe, Susan Kilbane
