A culturally conscious book that I found intersting is called Papa's Mark. This book is about a man's first time voting. His son is excited because his dad gets to vote for the first time, however, he is saddened by the fact that his dad does not know how to write. This little boy want his dad to be proud of who he is when he votes and in wanting this he teaches his dad to write his name. The lessons that can be used with this book are in Social Studies (voting rights past and present), Literature ( write in your journal as if you were Simm's dad and you are learning how to write), and Social Studies ( a time line on voting rights).
