  • Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer Written by Bill Wise Illustrated by Bill Farnsworth
    Lee & Low Books Paul Robeson Teacher’s Guide p.1 Classroom Guide for LOUIS SOCKALEXIS Native American Baseball Pioneer written by Bill Wise illustrated by Bill Farnsworth Reading Level *Reading Level: Grade 3 Interest Level: Grades 1-6 Guided Reading Level: Q Lexile™ Measure: AD920 *Reading level based on the Spache Readability Formula Themes Sports (Baseball), Trailblazers, Prejudice, Courage, Dignity, Native American Interest National Standards SOCIAL STUDIES: Culture; Time, Continuity, and Change; Individual Development and Identity; Individuals, Groups, and Institutions LANGUAGE ARTS: Understanding the Human Experience; Multicultural Understanding; Reading for Perspective In 1884, Louis Sockalexis, a twelve-year-old Penobscot Indian, fell in love with baseball. The boy lived on a reservation in Maine where his father was a tribal leader. As he grew up, Sockalexis honed his skills and dreamed of joining a major league team. He became a star athlete in high school and college. Even so, he faced opposition from his father who wanted him to focus on tribal life and from spectators who jeered at “the Indian playing a white man’s game.” In 1897, Sockalexis was offered a contract with the major league Cleveland Spiders. Despite this accomplishment, he was lonely away from home and subjected to ugly racism from baseball fans across the country.
