My Project

This project is for the purchase of some Who was/is...? series books. This series of books is a cross between graphic novels and history texts, so the students have more interest in these books because the look fun to read; I'm just sneaking in some history.

I want to have easier levels of books with a connection to the grade level concepts in history to better engage my students.

This book series is written in kid friendly words, but still digs deep into the history of the people an places. The books are not super long and therefore students are not as reluctant to choose these books over others.
