The Star Fisher

Curated and Reviewed by Lesson Planet

What a terrific way to discuss racism in the 1920's. Learners read a story called The Star Fisher by Laurence Yep. It is about a Chinese American girl who experiences racism and prejudice after moving from Ohio to West Virginia. Learners read this story, discuss important concepts, identify Latin and Greek roots in words, sequence events, and analyze story elements. Excellent!
