De*ion: Ten-year-old Henry wishes he could stop stuttering and be as good as his sister Melba. Henry, his sister, and their mother live in Rockaway Queens near the beach, and Henry loves to escape to the boardwalk. He never knows what he will find there. One day, there might be a band playing music he’s never heard. Another day, he might see a person riding around on a strange thing that looks like a giant tricycle, but has four wheels instead of three. And some days, Henry finds Allen, a local artist who uses recycled materials to make beautiful works of art and doesn’t mind talking to kids. Those are Henry’s favorite days. But the best day of all is the day Henry realizes what Allen’s Second Hand Art can teach him about himself!: IB Transdisciplinary Themes: WHO WE ARE, HOW WE EXPRESS OURSELVES: Central Ideas: Confidence, Courage, Body, Emotions,Behaviors, StutteringSelf-expression, Art, Storytelling: Key Concepts: Causation: Learner Attitudes: Appreciation, Creativity,Confidence, Empathy, Tolerance: Learner Profile Attributes: Communicators, Caring, Open-Minded: Tags: Social-Emotional Physical Exceptional Culture STEM Arts: self-esteem, diversity, embarassment, anxiety Stuttering, Speech Impediment Visual Art展开
