I was able to teach a lot of different reading strategies in each of the different chapters that we read. I was surprised how well my READ180 class did with not only reading this but also comprehension.It's probably not the kind of book I would like to read on my own though. The Great Fire by Jim Murphy sets the story straight about the Great Chicago Fire; and Mrs. O'Leary's cow did not knock over a lit lantern! Although the fire supposedly started in the O'Leary barn, the O'Leary's were in bed by 8pm and the fire didn't start until well after 9pm. This was corroborated by at least 2 different witnesses who were knocking on the door of the O'Leary's earlier in the evening. This book is a Newberry Honor book as well as winning nine other prestigious awards. I found this YA book more than deep enough to give me all the info I wanted on the Great Chicago Fire. 138 pages aucune critique | ajouter une critique
