Hello everyone! I hope you are enjoying the snow day! This past week, we read and discussed <\/span>Blood on the River <\/span><\/i>by Elisa Carbone. We used an anticipation guide while we read and looked at how we could use primary sources in the book.<\/span><\/p>\n

Overall, I enjoyed this book. It grabbed my attention right away. I liked how there was a quote from a primary source at the beginning of each chapter that connected with what happened in the book. I always remember learning about Jamestown being boring other than when we went on the field trip. If I had read this book in 4th grade, I would have enjoyed learning about Jamestown more.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

I would like to use this book in my future classroom. It is a great way to help students understand and relate to the story of Jamestown more than just the facts. The book also teaches other things than Jamestown. It discusses friendships, working with others, and persevering through difficult times.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

When teaching this book, I would use an anticipation guide. It helped me guide my reading and notice some of the more significant details. I would also like to show students primary sources to show the actual events from the book.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Did you enjoy reading this book? What was your favorite part of the book? Would you use this book in your classroom? Why or why not? What activities would you like to use before, during, or after reading <\/span>Blood on the River?\u00a0<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Thank you so much for reading! I can\u2019t wait to hear your thoughts about this book and if you would use it in your classroom.<\/span><\/p>\n
