Teach your children diverse books by taking them on a journey into Palestine with Elizabeth Laird’s A Little Piece of Ground.
“All twelve-year-old Karim wants to do is play football with his friends. But he and his family are trapped in their Ramallah home by a strict curfew, the city’s streets controlled by enemy tanks…”
We highly recommend this book to your children and so have created this free unit study for you all.
This complete unit study with 3 weeks of planning (15 lessons) comes packed with thought provoking comprehension questions, an opportunity for discussion, further research into the history of Palestine, refugees and more. With activities ranging from diary entries to chapter summaries, theres ample opportunity to discuss the difficult and unfair way in which the Palestinians are living. I think Elizabeth Laird does a fantastic job of bringing this story to young readers giving them an insight into the injustices and occupation faced by Palestinians even today.
This Literacy Unit Study is ideal for children aged 9-12 (Year 5 and Year 6).
