Why this resource is included
Visual storyboarding lesson for the commonly paired Myers story. Useful for scaffolding paired-reading week. The Treasure of Lemon Brown shares structural DNA with Thank You M’am: a young person encounters an older person who holds wisdom gained through suffering; the older person’s treasure is experiential rather than material. In the fictional 1958 Harlem: Lemon Brown could be an NPC in a condemned tenement the bookworms enter. Free basic access; subscription for full features.
