They call me George : the untold story of black train porters and the birth of modern Canada / by Foster, Cecil,1954-author.;
"A historical work of non-fiction that chronicles the little-known stories of black railway porters-the so-called "Pullmen" of the Canadian rail lines. The actions and spirit of these men helped define Canada as a nation in surprising ways, effecting race relations, human rights, North American multiculturalism, community building, the shape and structure of unions, and the nature of travel and business across the US and Canada. Drawing on the stories and legends of several of these influential early black Canadians, this book narrates the history of a very visible, but rarely considered, aspect of black life in railway-age Canada. These porters, who fought against the idea of Canada as White Man's Country, open only to immigrants from Europe, fought for and won a Canada that would provide opportunities for all its citizens."--

The marsh / by Lear, Lee-Ann.;
The Teal Series has a range of text structures. Some texts, like the Green Series Photo Stories, have more of a narrative structure, describing what the characters are doing and experiencing. Other texts are non-fiction and informative. The series includes engaging topics ranging from cooking to camping to trips to the park. Like the Green and Blue Series, the text is large and clear with extra space to help young readers see the distinction between each word. The Teal Series (10 Photo Titles) is parallel to the Blue Series, and of similar difficulty. Both the Teal and the Blue Series start with open syllables, but then diverge. You can choose which series to begin with, depending on your scope and sequence. The following concepts are introduced in the Teal Series: <o>/ō/, <e>/ē/, <u>/ū/, and <y>/ī/ in open syllables -- VCe pattern -- <ar>, <ur>, and <ir>, and the concept of r-controlled vowels -- "marker <e>" after <v>, <c> as /s/, and contractions -- compound words, and vowel flexibility in two syllable words -- <ild>/īld/, <ind>/īnd/,<old>/ōld/, <ost>/ōst/ -- High Frequency Words: "you" and "are".
