Teachers: Let’s get the conversation started!
How would you like to see your students become more engaged in class?
How great would it be if your students had something to say when you asked a question? That they were excited about the curriculum. Maybe, that they truly began thinking about what they were doing and saying.
They could be. With BeakSpeak, this fun, educational story brings to light social situations, moral bias and addresses bullying – all by focusing on the fact that ‘chickens’ should be more specific when communicating.
The BeakSpeak Workbook
This is a perfect book for teachers and home-school parents to present to their classes and students.
As the students read through the pages, the enclosed questions can be asked directly after reading that page or at the end of the story. It is designed to get the conversation started. Raise questions they wouldn’t have thought to ask and explain how important proper communication is.
BeakSpeak Chapter Books for Tween Readers!
My goal is to enhance critical thinking skills, build confidence and social awareness, and demonstrate how kindness defeats bullying.
BeakSpeak 5: Cajun French & Paris Connection
A Crawfish Boil leads to a lesson on the French War and the migration of the Acadian people who settled in south Louisiana and became known as the Cajuns. This led the chickens on a field trip to New Orleans, to partake in some famous Cajun cuisine, enjoy a bayou festival and practice their newly learned French vocabulary. Later, with a formal invitation to Paris for a very special family event, Peggy decides to bring the BeakSpeak group with her. They explore the grand city, the famous food and the historical sites with some chicken hi-jinks of course. This action-packed story is full of history, dissension, celebration and of course, the French Connection.
BeakSpeak 4: Fiesta Texas
In this action-packed adventure, the BeakSpeak chickens learn about Fiesta Texas. They throw flowers at the Battle of the Flowers Parade, Dance on the River, bull ride for Charreda, and get “lit up” at the Flamenco Parade. Afterwards, someone gets carted off by a coyote & helped by a chicken whisper, while another gets to hatch some baby chicks! The chickens will experience countless of adventures that children of all ages will enjoy.
BeakSpeak 3: Day of the Dead
