She imagines what the community was once like —the brightly painted houses nestled into the hillside, the field where boys played football, the pond where all the kids went rafting, the bountiful fishing, the huge bonfires. Coming out of her reverie, she visits the present-day park and the sundial where her great- grandmother’s name is carved in stone, and celebrates a summer day at the annual Africville Reunion\/Festival.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAfricville was a vibrant Black community for more than 150 years. But even though its residents paid municipal taxes, they lived without running water, sewers, paved roads and police, fire-truck and ambulance services. Over time, the city located a slaughterhouse, a hospital for infectious disease, and even the city garbage dump nearby. In the 1960s, city officials decided to demolish the community, moving people out in city dump trucks and relocating them in public housing.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eToday, Africville has been replaced by a park, where former residents and their families gather each summer to remember their community.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eKey Text Features\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003ehistorical context\u003cbr\u003ereferences\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCorrelates to the Common Core State Standards in English Language Arts:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.K.6\u003cbr\u003eWith prompting and support, name the author and illustrator of a story and define the role of each in telling the story.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.3\u003cbr\u003eDescribe characters, settings, and major events in a story, using key details.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.4\u003cbr\u003eIdentify words and phrases in stories or poems that suggest feelings or appeal to the senses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCCSS.ELA-LITERACY.RL.1.7\u003cbr\u003eUse illustrations and details in a story to describe its characters, setting, or events.\u003c\/p\u003e","published_at":"2021-06-01T11:43:44-04:00","created_at":"2021-06-01T11:43:44-04:00","vendor":"Groundwood Books Ltd","type":"","tags":["age range 4 -
