Carregando... Bloody Timesde James L. Swanson
   Ainda não há conversas na Discussão sobre este livro.   KilmerMSLibrary | Apr 30, 2013 |  (  ) lindap69 | Apr 5, 2013 | This would be a good book to use in an 8th grade classroom when the students are learning about the Civil War. I wouldn't particularly use this in an English classroom, but it would be a good tool in a Social Studies class. This book could easily be paired with "Huckleberry Finn" or for a high school class Kate Chopin's "The Awakening." I liked this book because of its history and I learned a lot that I didn't know about the Civil War and the parallels between Lincoln and Davis. I had a hard time reading this book because it read a lot like that of a history textbook. I wish the story could have been told through a more interesting narrative while still staying true to the facts. I think nonfiction is hard for English teachers because the nonfiction they are used to reading is literary criticism, rather than the retelling of historical events.

New York Times bestselling author James L. Swanson brings to life the fast-paced, suspense-filled story of Abraham Lincoln's and Jefferson Davis's final journeys through our wounded nation following the Civil War. This middle grade nonfiction book is an excellent choice for tween readers in grades 7 to 8, especially during homeschooling. It's a fun way to keep your child entertained and engaged while not in the classroom. This suspense-filled true-crime thriller--the young readers' adaptation of Swanson's Bloody Crimes--explores two epic events of the Civil War era: the manhunt to apprehend Confederate president Jefferson Davis in the wake of Abraham Lincoln's assassination and the momentous 20-day funeral pageant that brought President Lincoln's body from Washington, DC to his home in Springfield. Full of fascinating twists and turns, and lavishly illustrated with dozens of rare historical images, Bloody Times captures the riveting stories of these two fallen leaders who changed the course of history. It's perfect for young readers who enjoy dramatic nonfiction tales from the likes of Steve Sheinkin and Patricia McCormick. This book contains a note from the author, a glossary, a list of important Civil War figures, and a guide to visiting the historic sites mentioned within. A companion to the bestselling and highly acclaimed Chasing Lincoln's Killer. Não foram encontradas descrições de bibliotecas. |
