Description
Upper Elementary students still love picture books and Asian American Pacific Islander Heritage Month is a wonderful time to use them in the classroom. As teachers we know this, but making sure students have support in doing grade-level thinking with the books can be time consuming. These no-prep worksheets will guide students through thinking more deeply about this powerful biography of Sammy Lee. The book Sixteen Years in Sixteen Seconds is a wonderful exploration of Sammy Lee's life and the challenges he had to overcome to become the first Asian American Olympic Gold Medalist.
