Later in the year we will be writing story books for a class of third graders. We are going to "practice" by creating a short story book on the War of 1812. This is going to be a very simple and straightforward assignment. Think about it as taking notes and summarizing what you have read with pictures. Below are the sections from your textbook that have to be covered. Each number corresponds to the paragraph in that section. So "3 Impressment" means you would find information on impressment in the third paragraph in the section. The Phrase or word next to the number clues you into what the topic of your page should be. Each picture of your book would provide the reader with the details, and under each picture should be a short one to three sentence summary of what is happening.
