This year I plan to read all the GA Book Award Nominees and provide a “one stop” resource for teachers who would like to use these books in their classrooms. I will be posting links to author Web sites, teacher’s guides, and related Web links. I hope to make this an unbiased resource, so I will not be providing my own review of the books–other than recommending it as a read aloud (or not).
Hiroshima Dreams
by: Kelly Easton
Summary: Lin O’Neil, a talented but shy girl growing up in Providence, Rhode Island, develops a close relationship with her Japanese grandmother, who shares Lin’s gift of precognition.

Hiroshima Day Lesson Plan (pdf)
This pdf document is a multi-day unit on Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes and Hiroshima Day with color illustrations of the story.
Peace Lesson Plans @ Wilmington College
http://www.wilmington.edu/prcteachers/LessonPlans.cfm
This site contains lesson plans divided by grade levels: elementary (1-5), junior high (5-8), and high school (9-12). Many of these lesson plans deal with American/Japanese relations before and after WWII. For example, one lesson plan explores prejudice and appreciation of other cultures through relating the story of friendship dolls that were sent from America to Japan in 1926. Another lesson deals explores the story of Sadako and focuses on Hiroshima Day. Teachers should find plenty of ideas at this site.
Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes
http://www.bcps.org/offices/lis/models/sadako/index.html
This site will help teachers and students to complete an engaging research project as part of a study of the historical novel Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, a true story about a girl who lived in Hiroshima on the day that the United States dropped the atomic bomb on that city in an attempt to end World War II. This book would be a great companion novel to read before or after Hiroshima Dreams, or this assignment could be adapted. To better understand the novel, student assignments include research about this event in history and its effect on the people of Hiroshima and the world at large. This site includes mini-lessons, resources, and assessment tools.
Read Aloud Recommendation: This coming of age novel probably lacks the action to hold students’ attention as a traditional read aloud, but it would be great for literature circles and for the teacher to read aloud in segments. I would recommend it as a companion novel to Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes as it deals with the aftermath of Hiroshima and the effects of the atomic bomb generations later.
