Summary: |
|
| This beautiful book is a tribute to the Hudson River and its strategic, economic and cultural significance throughout history. | |
Teaching Ideas: |
|
| Map skills, biographical study as well as a geographical skills could all be a part of using this book in the classroom. I would bring as many jackdaws as possible to class to fully explore this book: ship models, old maps,books by Cooper,artwork by Cole, model steam engine etc. to show a more living time line of American growth along side the Hudson River's existence. | |
