you go, writing down your every action. The one on the right makes

down whenever you are naughty.The presentation of their jobs in

"Guru Nanak (1469-1539) is the founder of the Sikh religion, which
has over 25 million followers worldwide. As a young man, he
embarked on an inspired mission that took him from the sacred
Himalayas to the holy city of Mecca, preaching a message of one
God, sincere worship, and of peace and equality for all.
Award-winning author, Demi, recounts the remarkable life of Guru
Nanak, who today is revered by Hindus and Muslims alike"--
""Give me your tired, your poor
Your huddled masses yearning to breathe free . . . " "
In 1883, Emma Lazarus, deeply moved by an influx of immigrants
from eastern Europe, wrote a sonnet that gave a voice to the Statue
of Liberty. Originally a gift from France to celebrate our shared
national struggles for liberty, the statue, thanks to Emma's poem,
came to define us as a nation that welcomes immigrants. The text of
that now famous poem, "The New Colossus," appears in this
free-verse biography, illustrated in an exquisite folk art style.
"The New Colossus" by Emma Lazarus has been selected as a Common
Core Text Exemplar (Grades 4-5, Poetry)

find a way to rescue all 52 princes? Lively retelling of the
well-known Sikh tale, suitable for average ability readers at KS1.

forced to give up her child and then died in a Roman amphitheatre;
Lady Jane Grey did as she was told but in the end would not deny
her Lord; Anne Askew lost her home and family but never lost her
faith; Lysken Dirks loved her young husband but they both loved
Jesus first; Marion Harvey discovered the joy of following Christ
and followed him to the end; Margaret Wilson became an outlaw for
Jesus but obeyed God whatever the cost; Judith Weinberg loved the
Lord although it cost her life; Betty Stam's life was full of
danger but she lived for Jesus through and through; Esther John

in too easily - be inspired by those who didn't!
