Apply strategies to determine if it's true or false fact:
During the 1950's segergation was real. Whites and blacks did not communicate. Rather, blacks were slaves to the whites. In the book "The Other Side" it talks about how a little African-American girl wants to play with a Caucasion girl. Both of them see no harm in playing with each other but the African-American girl is scared to play with the white girl beacause of segergation. In the end, the little white girls asks the other girl to play and at the of the book they end up jump roping and playing together.
In some way this book is factual because it talks about sergergation in the 1950's but in some other way this book is opinion based because in the majority of cases black and whites did not play together during that time.
Pros and Cons

Book: Magic Schoo Bus, Inside the Earth.
- This book gave us a deeper insight on the Earth's crust and taught my students about metamorphic and igneous rocks.
