As we (CTU) prepare for a strike tomorrow, many students of all ages have asked me very direct questions about what this means for them and why it is happening. As an educator, I find that books are a great way to draw parallels between situations in text and in our real lives. Here are some titles you might use to discuss the CTU strike: Click, Clack, Moo/Ready-to-Read: Cows That Type (A Click Clack Book) Side by Side/Lado a Lado: The Story of Dolores Huerta and Cesar Chavez/La Historia de Dolores Huerta y Cesar Chavez Memphis, Martin, and the Mountaintop: The Sanitation Strike of 1968 Brave Girl by Michelle Markel and Melissa Sweet Kids on Strike! by Susan Campbell Bartoletti Which Side Are You On? The Story of a Song by George Ella Lyon and Christopher Cardinale Si, Se Puede!/Yes, We Can! Janitor Strike In L.A. by Diana Cohn and Francisco Delgado* Joelito’s Big Decision/La gran decisión de Joelito by Ann Berlak and Daniel Camacho On Our Way to Oyster Bay: Mother Jones and Her March for Children’s Rights by Monica Kulling and Felicita Sala
