    LANGUAGE ARTS • MATH • SCIENCE • SOCIAL STUDIES A TEACHER AND LIBRARIAN GUIDE TO THE SERIES IDEAS FOR CLASSROOM INTEGRATION • IDEAL FOR READER’S ADVISORY ALIGNED TO COMMON CORE STATE STANDARDS FOR GRADES K-3 ORDINARY PEOPLE CHANGE THE WORLD Ideas for Classroom Integration Dear Educator and Librarian, Heroes are everywhere in our local communities. The Ordinary People Change the World series helps young children realize how their passions, hobbies, and interests can help shape their dreams, goals, and aspirations, and that they, too, can become heroes! Through extensive research, Brad Meltzer has woven important historical facts about each hero’s life into his engaging text, supported beautifully by Chris Eliopoulos’ inviting illustrations. Each book in the series can be used as the foundational text to teach your readers about some of today’s most famous and beloved heroes. At the end of each book, you’ll find a comprehensive list of references that provide a platform for a deeper discussion about primary and secondary sources. The stories begin with the heroes as children and provide students with the opportunity to dream big, and to follow and eventually realize those dreams. We have put together this curriculum guide to support classroom instruction and reader’s advisory for these titles. Organized by grades K-1 and 2-3, we have lessons focusing on language arts, math, science, and social studies for each grade bracket. Throughout this guide, you’ll find teachable content for the series that you can customize to your grade, class, small group, or individual student’s needs. Choose the lessons, activities, and prompts that are right for your teaching style, and have fun bringing such a culturally important and inspiring series into your classroom and library! We are thrilled to take this journey with you, and we hope you can instill in your students the drive to become a hero, whether to their family, their town, our nation or our world.
