However, this book did offer a lot of new information about Ben Franklin that I never knew in the past. It also made a lot of connections for me. For example, I've learned about Ben Franklin creating electricity but I never knew that he was a representative for America. I also never realized that the Boston Tea Party happened during the time Franklin was alive, and I definitely didn't realize how badly the Boston Tea Party effected him. This fact blew my mind because I had never connected those dots, or had any teacher connect them for me. This book would be real aloud to 2 - 4 grades. In a 4th grade classroom, students could look up inventions made by Benjamin Franklin and pick one to research. They would research how he came to invent it, what it was used for, and how it is still used today. The students could create a dispkay of their findings and present their information to the class. Students in 2nd and 3rd grade could pretend as if they were going to interview Benjamin Franklin. They would write what events in his life they found important and any questions they would ask them. I would use this book for a 5th grade class because it is quite wordy so I wouldn't use it for younger grades and I would use it as an interactive read-aloud so that students can think critically by being asked questions and will be able to learn new vocabulary. I would use the book to teach students about different inventors and students could compare and contrast different inventors since each inventor created something different. I could also use this book to teach students cause and effect because inventions show how something that you make can have a huge effect. Benjamin Franklin was one of seventeen children, and the youngest of 10 sons. To help out with the family, he was put to work when he was 10 years old in his father's candle and soap-making shop. Benjamin Franklin accomplished a lot of things such as the invention of electricity. He worked hard for the things he earned.
Ilene Cooper (Booklist, February 15, 2000 (Vol. 96, No. 12)) Following the format of his picture-book biographies of George Washington (1992) and Thomas Jefferson (1994), Giblin, ably aided by artist Michael Dooling, presents the life of Benjamin Franklin--and an amazing life it was. Apprenticed to his brother as a printer, Franklin was soon running his own business and writing his own books, including the popular Poor Richard's Almanack. When Franklin became wealthy enough to retire, his life was just beginning. He indulged himself in his passion for science, worked for public improvements, such as libraries and hospitals, and, of course, became one of the nation's founding fathers as he tirelessly devoting himself to the affairs of a fledgling nation. Giblin's writing is lively, and he wisely uses the story of Franklin's estrangement from his only living son, a Royalist, to heighten dramatic tension. Dooling provides both expertly executed paintings and simple line drawings to bring Franklin's story close to today's readers. An especially useful touch is the wealth of back matter. Besides the expected time line and narrative bibliography, there is a page about Franklin's inventions, another with sayings from Poor Richard's Almanack, a list of historic sites associated with Franklin, and an informative illustrator's note. More than enough material for report writers but an intriguing offering for biography lovers as well. Category: Middle Readers. 2000, Scholastic, $17.95. Gr. 4-6, younger for reading aloud.
