I like to get students excited about reading literature by having them do a fun activity to go with the story. This is especially true when the book has sad or “heavy” subject matter related to war. So, to get them excited about reading the short novella Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes, I let them make origami paper cranes of their own. First, I have them read background information about World War II events that relate to the story and an interview of a survivor. That’s the “heavy” part. Then, I have them read the story, which is sad but also enjoyable and inspiring. After all that is when I have them make the paper cranes, which they really enjoy. Good news! I found a free copy online. It is still under copyright, though, so I am not going to print it or post it. You, as teachers, however are entitled to fair use to use it for education purposes (but not post or sell). Access it here: PDF of Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes Here is how I would teach the book (but there are many options found on the web): 1) Learn about and then give students some basic background information on the bombing of Hiroshima by the United States that was an attempt to end World War II. Here are a couple good places for you as the teacher to read about it so you can summarize it for your students: https://www.theatlantic.com/international/archive/2015/08/hiroshima-nagasaki-atomic-bomb-anniversary/400448/ https://www.osti.gov/opennet/manhattan-project-history/Events/1945/hiroshima.htm https://www.scholastic.com/teachers/activities/teaching-content/world-war-ii-remembered/ Make sure to have students read an interview with a Hiroshima bombing survivor, such as this one: https://www.ncronline.org/blogs/ncr-today/interview-survivor-hiroshima-bombing 2) Read the book to students or have the students read the book. Have them answer questions about each chapter. You can find reading comprehension questions free online on several websites, such as this one: https://www.pghschools.org/cms/lib07/PA01000449/Centricity/domain/262/2014%20ela%20curriculum/6th%20ELA/Grade%206%20Sadako%20Teachers%20Guide.pdf 3) Have them make paper cranes. The instructions are in the back of the book usually, or you can find some good ones online for free, such as: https://monkey.org/~aidan/origami/crane/index.html WANT MORE ENGAGING READING FOR YOUR STUDENTS?

Japanese artist Naoki Onogawa is taking origami art to the next level, and she's doing it in the most Japanese way ever.
The idea of folding and hanging 1000 paper cranes originated in Japan, centered around the story of a little girl, Sadako Sasaki.. She was inspired by the senbazuru legend. She started to fold a set of 1000 after being exposed to radiation from Hiroshima, for it is believed that if you fold 1000 you get one wish. Others believe a set of 1000 paper cranes to be good luck in general, and to bring someone longevity and peace. They may be given at weddings as a gift for 1000 years of happy marriage, or with the birth of a child, to give a long and healthy life. In this version of 1000 paper cranes, I have used 3.5" by 3.5" squares of paper, folded into cranes. There are 5 different colors ranging from deep red to yellow, similar to the colors of the sun. There are 20 strings of 50 cranes each. The top is in the shape of an 'X', with the center most colors being yellow and the outermost being the darkest red, representing the core of the sun to the outer flames.This is a large piece that hangs from the ceiling, measuring 19" by 19" wide both ways, and 60" from the ceiling. If you are interested in this concept, but not this design, or these colors, I have others that I don't have online yet, and can do custom orders as well. I have a lot of ideas and options, and am always open to new ones! The shipping is a bit more, as it is a large and somewhat (it's paper) fragile piece of art. Feel free to contact me, Sadie, with any questions you may have at: swanhosf [!at] gmail.com Thank you so much for considering my creations I put so much thought, time, and care into! Happy shopping!

Folded with Chiyogami paper, hand dipped in paraffin and beaded with aurora borealis-finished glass beads. All cranes come packaged in a pagoda container and are tagged with the *story of the peace crane. *The International Peace Crane represents the hope for peace all over the world. The crane is a bird that may live as long as a hundred years. For this reason, in Japan and other Asian countries, it has become a symbol for long life. The crane is not only a very popular origami, but often appears in paintings. It became a worldwide symbol when the story of Sadako Sasaki became known. Sadako Sasaki died at the age of twelve, a victim of radiation disease caused by the atom bomb that fell on Hiroshima in 1945. She tried to fold a thousand cranes in the age-old belief that she would recover if she accomplished the task. Sadly, she could only complete 644, but she inspired millions of children all over the world to send paper cranes to Hiroshima to express their own hope for peace. “I will write peace on your wings and you will fly all over the world.” -Sadako Sasaki Wholesale inquiries and custom orders welcome.

This packet is everything you need for a novel study on Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes. This could be used for literature circles, guided reading, and more. Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is a great opportunity for students to practice making inferences and learn about historical events. It's at a 4th/5th grade reading level (Guided Reading Level R). This guide has two parts: a student response packet and teacher’s guide. Chapters are grouped together so that each reading assignment is roughly 10 pages. For the reading assignments that contain less pages, students have more questions to respond to. This literature packet does not focus on within text comprehension questions (i.e. listing the names of the characters, setting, etc.). Rather, it focuses on skills that require the students to go beyond the text and use evidence from the text to support their inferences. Often times there is more than one correct response. Some of the skills that are focused on are *Using context to determine word meaning (and checking these meanings using a dictionary) *Identifying character traits and supporting these traits with examples from the text *Describing the meaning of similes or metaphors *Characters’ (or the authors’) motivations *Determining the theme and supporting it with evidence The teacher’s guide contains several features: *For each question: possible answer choices or examples from the book that students may use to support their response *Information about Japanese words and culture used in the book *Summaries of each chapter that highlight the main events *4th Grade and 5th Grade Common Core State Standards (CCSS) correlations for each question (other grade levels are applicable as well, however, since Sadako and the Thousand Paper Cranes is primarily at this level, these were the standards that were focused on) The Common Core Standards addressed are CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RL.4.1 Refer to details and examples in a text when explaining what the text says explicitly and when drawing inferences from the text.
