Teaching Ideas: |
|
| This book could be part of a read-aloud in a family literacy program or could be read by ABE students in a unit on war or on the Vietnam War. Students could read this with Paulsen's The Monument and research other war monuments (most towns in Ohio have Civil War monuments). The book is often used as part of a social studies curriculum and lends itself to personal discussions, journal writing, and creative writing. | |
