I have been reading the book The Power of One by Bryce Courtenay. Last night we watched the DVD. This book has a great message as Marilyn Green Faulkner states in Back to the Best Books--"...help us believe in the value of each individual and in the power of each individual to triumph over adversity and make a positive contribution to the world."
Although this particular book and movie are probably not appropriate to share with elementary students they are reminder to us as educators that we need to remember this message and find ways to help our students understand it. Involving our Esperanza scholars in quality service learning and social action is a pathway to do just that.
