The Keeping Quilt is another one of my favorite Patricia Polacco books. I used it with my second graders last spring. It tells the story of a quilt that has been passed down in her family through many generations.
This story may be used to teach:
- Narrative writing ( We used the book as a pattern when we wrote about something that was passed down to us or that we could pass on to someone else.)
- Dialogue
- Use of italics
- Use of elipsis
- Narrative reading text structure (characters, setting, plot)
- Important idea
- Predicting
- Connections
- Making Inferences
- Change over time
This book could be part of a unit of study of the Jewish religion or family traditions.
