Becoming: Adapted for Younger Readers: Michelle Obama

Product Information

I also loved her journey to the law firm and how she was torn between quitting to do something she loved and get paid less or keep the steady flow of money going and keep doing a job that made her miserable.

um vor allem Mädchen - schwarze Mädchen - dazu zu bewegen, an sich selbst zu glauben und für das zu kämpfen, was sie erreichen wollen. This bestseller that dominated the adult charts for some considerable number of weeks has now been adapted for younger readers losing something like 100 pages in the process. Wenn es um wichtige Personen und Ereignisse geht, die zwar den meisten von uns vielleicht ein Begriff sind, sind diese für die jüngeren Leser in einem Nebensatz verständlich erklärt, sodass wirklich jeder ohne Probleme alles nachvollziehen kann und das finde ich super.Not that optimism is a bad thing, it just came off as disingenuous in places, that platitudinal belief that hope and resilience and good faith will always prevail (maybe I'm just too much a cynic, which she does warn against). From my room, I’d listen to them attempting, note by uncertain note, to win her approval, graduating from “Hot Cross Buns” to “Brahms’s Lullaby,” but only after many tries. Resources include book group discussion questions and issues arising, opportunities to encourage shared reading between young people and adults and writing prompts to help young people think about their own life experiences in the form of a journal. I’d sit on my dad’s lap in his recliner and listen to him narrate how the Cubs were playing or why Billy Williams, who lived just around the corner from us on Constance Avenue, had such a sweet swing from the left side of the plate.

Ich kann kaum in Worte fassen, wie gut erzählt ich das Leben von Michelle Robinson Obama fand - von klein auf bis zu der Frau, die sie heute ist. Alles wurde so gut erklärt, dass auch jüngere Leser ohne Probleme zu dieser Biografie greifen können - und das auch sollten. We don’t share your credit card details with third-party sellers, and we don’t sell your information to others. Sie steckte in dieser Zeit immer wieder zurück und doch war sie stolz auf das, was ihr Mann erreicht hat und noch erreichen wird. Featuring excerpts and photographs, with an overview of themes that appear throughout Michelle Obama’s inspirational memoir, this resource pack will support exploration of ideas from activism to politics, ethnicity to personal aspirations.Sich selbst nahm sie dabei gern als Beispiel, da sie in ärmlichen Verhältnissen in der South Side von Chicago aufgewachsen ist - einem Ort, der heute von Banden und Kriminalität beherrscht wird. I read Becoming earlier this year by myself, and I picked up this copy (adapted for young readers) a few months back. My one critique - and this could just be because I read the edition adapted for young readers - was the pervasive optimistic tone.
