GENRE: Biography READING LEVEL: 7th-9th grade
BRIEF OVERVIEW: This book is solely in honor
of the amazing Juliette Gordon Low. It
tells Low’s life story and how she was brought up with the incentive to create
a Girl’s club/society for leadership and societal skills. Her determined dream turned into the Girl
Scouts of the USA. Since being a former
Girl Scout, I found excitement when discovering this book (biography).
INTEGRATED ACTIVITY: Help team up with a project the Girl Scouts are
involved in by helping advocate the “Be a Friend First” message. Inform the class of the detrimental measures
bullying can lead to in and out of schools.
Tell students to embrace the free life they have been given and to
cherish themselves and everyone around them.
Juliette Low would fight for this and would be proud to know people
still take actions to prevent it. Also tell kids to support by buying a box of
yummy cookies!
