The Truth (and Myths) about American Heroes | 
pickI‘m no American history buff, but The Truth (and Myths) About American Heroes by L.A. Peacock (NF) made learning about history actually fun. Since it‘s so broad and doesn‘t go very in-depth, it wouldn‘t make sense to use it for a lesson, even though the glossary in the back has some great vocabulary words. It would be best as an IR, particularly as a recommendation to the student who is interested in history! #LAE3414sp2019
cwright This lesson plan is for high school, but I fully believe it could be properly translated into an elementary school setting (http://www.readwritethink.org/classroom-resources/lesson-plans/blind-date-with-book-31116.html). This book touches on ESOL 4 and 15 and possibly UDL 3.1 and 2.1, and the lesson idea touches on ESOL 2, 5, and 10 and UDL 9.1. 6y
DrSpalding I love the idea of blind dates with a book! Good choice. I believe you won this one in class… History can be fun!❤️📚 6y
Eggs Welcome to Litsy 🤗 6y
dayuso1 I think it's a great idea to incorporate interest-specific book choices for your students! I'm not a history buff either, but I can think of some students I already know who would love this kind of read. 6y
