This book was just read to me on utube. It was so annoying 🙄. But hey, maybe it was good to get the kids' attention, lol. #ISpyBingoAugust @Clwojick @TheAromaofBooks

This was a lovely book about the beginning of the Ferris Wheel. It was both a story and a collection of info bits that made it that much more fun to read. Plus the illustrations take the reader back 120 years and make you ready to see the sun and walk the midway.

Mr. Ferris and His Wheel is an Orbis Pictus award winning picture book written by Kathryn Gibbs David and illustrated by Gilbert Ford. It is a B about George Washington Gale Ferris Jr. and the story behind the 1893 Chicago World‘s Fair and his invention of the Ferris wheel. This book can be utilized as an RA to teach students about historical figures or the World's Fair. #ucflae3414f17

cheyennewilliams http://www.gibbsdavis.com/books/bk_mrferris.html This will take you to the authors site where there are more links to a video book trailer, a teaching guide, and podcasts that will read the book out loud for students. The teaching activities provide pre/during/after reading questions, important vocabulary, and multiple graphic organizers for students to complete before, during, and after the reading. (edited) 7y
cheyennewilliams UDL strategy 1.2: offer alternatives for auditory information. The website provides links to podcasts that can read the story out loud to children. This can be a great use for ELL's and their families. 7y
cheyennewilliams EL strategy 23: structure advanced organizers consisting of new terminology that learners will encounter in the new lesson and vocabulary to be reviewed. The teaching resources provide graphic organizers for important/challenging vocabulary that is featured in the text. Students should complete as a class before the read aloud so that they can be familiar with the meanings of the new words. 7y

story is packed with interesting information about the first Ferris wheel, World Fairs and man-made structures. all told with illustrations drawn in the style of cartoons from sixties/seventies. think "Sword and Stone" or "100 Dalmatians." Excellent for all ages.

bookhouseboy Love this book! Some of the illustrations are based on actual period photographs. 9y
