I Am George Washington
I Am George Washington | Brad Meltzer
8 posts | 5 read | 2 to read
We can all be heroes. That s the inspiring message of this "New York Times" Bestselling picture book biography series from historian and author Brad Meltzer. Learn all about George Washington, America s first president. George Washington was one of the greatest leaders the world has ever known. He was never afraid to be the first to try something, from exploring the woods around his childhood home to founding a brand new nation, the United States of America. With his faith in the American people and tremendous bravery, he helped win the Revolutionary War and became the country s first president. Each picture book in this series is a biography of a significant historical figure, told in a simple, conversational, vivacious way, and always focusing on a character trait that makes the person a role model for kids. The heroes are depicted as children throughout, telling their life stories in first-person present tense, which keeps the books playful and accessible to young children. And each book ends with a line of encouragement, a direct quote, photos, a timeline, and a source list."

I Am George Washington was written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Chris Eliopoulos. It is a B picture book that I think would be great in the classroom as a RT activity. The story is written in first person and “George Washington“ shares information about his life and accomplishments. #ucflae3414su20

Ameyer32 A great ESOL strategy would be number 50, using a variety of comprehension activities. I would have the students complete a KWL chart. A UDL strategy I would use would be 1.2, offer alternatives for auditory information. I would use an audio book.

Here you will find a short video for kids about George Washington

DrSpalding You need a bit more detail regarding your resource. Would you use it before reading or after reading during a social studies lesson? Use of a graphic organizer is an excellent activity. 4y

My 7 year old, is obsessed with US presidents. This was suppose to be for Christmas but I couldn't resist. She really loved it and asked so many questions. That's what's best about this series. Rosa Parks on order. She doesn't like Trump or Clinton and wants Bernie Sanders back or we're not allowed to move to America lol 😂

saresmoore Wise, wise young woman! My 7yo is obsessed with honest Abe Lincoln! They are kindred spirits, I think. ✨ 8y
outis When she outgrows Meltzer's "I Am..." books, be sure to look for the "Who Was/Is..." series for slightly older kids. 8y
