Genre: Informational
Publisher Information: Sleeping Bear Press (34 pgs)
Summary: This is a book that takes the alphabet and using each letter comes up with a symbol that represents North Carolina that begins with that letter. They take a page to describe the symbol and give some history of it, along with GREAT illustrations to make the symbols come alive.
Reading Level: 5.6
Interest Level: 3-5
Personal Rating: **** This book is a great book to use in the classroom! The illustrations are awesome and the information is interesting.
Integrations:
Social Studies: This book is a great way to introduce a unit on the symbols of North Carolina. My class creates a symbol book, where they write something about each symbol and then color a picture of it. This book would be great to use at the beginning of that unit.
Writing: Have students create their own alphabet book about a topic that interests them.
Possible Problems: none
