Yanuell began his session by reading where he had left off in: When I Grow Up: Abraham Lincoln. He went to his bookmark and couldn't wait to continue reading. The book was an excellent catalyst for research and conversation. We discussed many advanced vocabulary words like: secede and democracy. Yanuell reviewed the high points of the Civil War and the reasons behind it. He wanted to learn more about the confederate flag because it was shown in an illustration and did some brief research on it. We discussed the reasons behind why many people today find the confederate flag to be offensive. Upon completing the book, Yanuell went to the History.com website and read several articles about the assassination of Lincoln and the background behind John Wilkes Booth. There were two short videos that showed the inside of the Ford Theater which Yanuell found to be extremely interesting. After the Lincoln reading, Yanuell wanted to review what he had learned about Babe Ruth. He wanted to do further research and we found an amazing website called Babe Ruth Central: The Site that Ruth Built. Yanuell read all about Ruth's childhood and was amazed to learn that he went to live in an orphanage when he was 8 years old. There were many parts of the text that I had to explain to Yanuell because it was above his reading level, but he never lost interest and couldn't wait to read and learn more. Yanuell ended his reading session by starting another book in the America the Beautiful series. This book was about Washington State and was packed with interesting information and beautiful photographs.
