Students in Miss Marsel's Reading class recently finished a novel by Michelle Y. Green. This novel told the story of the famous Negro Leagues baseball pitcher Mamie Johnson. The book is called A Strong Right Arm. This story was especially fitting to be read in March as it discusses important moments in Black History (February was Black History Month), it depicts a strong and empowering woman (March is Women's History Month) and it is all about baseball (Spring training is well underway!)! Students: Make a post reviewing A Strong Right Arm below. Your post must include 4 components: a short summary about the book, your favorite character and why, if you did or did not like it and why, and a recommendation (if you think someone should or should not read this book. Pick up a few books and read some sample reviews to help get you started. Your blog post is due Friday April 4th. |
