This article from Beyond Weather and the Water Cycle provides ideas on how school librarians can work with elementary teachers to teach about the Sun's impact on weather and climate. The author introduces the Standards for the 21st Century Learner, developed by the American Association of School Librarians. The author focuses on Standard 1, which calls for students to inquire, think critically, and gain knowledge through developing and refining questions, investigating answers, seeking divergent perspectives in information, and assessing whether the information found answers the questions posed. The free, online magazine draws its themes from the Seven Essential Principles of Climate Literacy, with each issue focusing on one of the seven principles.

*Planning Notes
You will find a few curse words scattered throughout this book. Remember, while you read, you can easily omit or replace them with synonyms.
In 2009, a PG-rated movie of Alabama Moon was released, starring John Goodman. Consider playing portions for your class so that together you can contrast the director’s view with the reader’s. (These comparisons are not built into the lesson plans.) This is a great opportunity to engage your students in multiple texts, and it is a proven way to stimulate visualization. Various clips are available on YouTube, but if you acquire the entire movie you can use portions of it flexibly. You may also wish to play the entire movie after you complete the read-aloud.

After reading the book, you will need to decide whether or not to reveal the untimely death of Amelia Earhart.
The Author’s Note in the back of the book provides details you may want to share. There is also a photograph of the two women, and you may wish to compare it with Selznick’s illustrations.

The tall tale as a genre typically involves fictional characters. Mary Pope Osborne has included real individuals, such as Davy Crockett and Johnny Appleseed, as the source of some the tales. Our opinion is that it is better to steer toward the legendary classics.
Note that for each story Osborne provides a background note. These are helpful for your background but they are not meant to be part of the read-aloud.
A map of the United States on display would make a good prop to indicate some of the place names in the story.

But this book is not about the present day. It’s about the age of exploration, centuries ago, when Europeans ventured out into the Atlantic Ocean. They traveled in ships.The book was written by Jean Fritz and illustrated by Anthony Bacon Venti.

--Our book is called Bringing the Rain to Kapiti Plain. It was written by Verna Aardema and illustrated by Beatriz Vidal. It tells a story but it is also a special kind of poem. Each page will repeat some of what has been read so far and then add something new. A set of lines that work together is called a stanza. There’s a stanza on each page, and some of the lines are the same. The story is set in Africa, and it is all about the need for water. It has not rained in a long time. The story is a fantasy because what happens could not occur in real life.
