Summary: |
This book recounts the history of the Nashua River in Massachusetts and New Hampshire life from idyllic Algonquin Indian times to industrial pollution to a restored river due to the efforts of Marion Stoddart who coordinated a citizen campaign. The text pages have borders of historical objects and wildlife in addition to full-page illustrations. |
Teaching Ideas: |
If there is a local body of water, a teacher could develop a class project researching the history of the river or lake that includes reading, writing, science and math. This book could be used with Levine's Pearl Moskowitz's Last Stand to explore the theme of what one person can do to bring about change.
