A child friendly biography about the life of Neil Armstrong. He starts as a young, determined child with big goals. He grows to love planes, join the navy, and go to college to become an engineer. People called him a lot of things, but he considered himself an engineer. He had to find solutions to problems.

Again, I enjoyed the art style and how the book was formatted as a graphic novel. Many of my students enjoy graphic novels, so this would be a useful series of books for my students.

What I love most about this book is how it presents itself as a graphic novel. It makes the content engaging for the reader while still giving all the information it needs to give for the reader to understand who Neil Armstrong was and what he did. The book also includes real pictures and a timeline of Armstrong's life at the back of the book.

Written by Brad Meltzer and illustrated by Christopher Eliopoulos, I am Neil Armstrong, is a B about the first person who walked on the moon: Neil Armstrong. This fun and interactive book tells the story about Armstrong‘s famous steps on the moon, but also the journey that led him there. #ucflae3414su19 (cont.)

MeganKlein This picture book B is part of the Ordinary People Change the World series, and students can learn about the lives of many important American icons through this series. One teaching strategy that could be used with this book is SR. Through SR, teachers can read this book aloud to students while modeling accurate fluency. Teachers can also extend this book by asking students what they learned about Armstrong and his journey to the moon. (edited) 5y

MeganKlein Allowing time for students to read this text independently after reading aloud to the class is also important and it allows students to learn more about Armstrong and his life. This link provides more information on the benefits of SR and how it can be utilized with this text https://www.readingrockets.org/strategies/shared_reading. 5y

MeganKlein UDL strategy 1.1 aligns with this text because for some learners, it may be difficult to process all of the information about Armstrong just by reading this book. Using other teaching tools along with this B (e.g. BrainPop videos, timelines, interviews) can help all students learn about Armstrong‘s life in a way that best suits their understanding. EL strategy 17 also aligns with this book, and it states that contextual support (cont.) 5y

MeganKlein through audio, visuals, models, etc. should be provided to support the overall instruction for ELs. A variety of visual aids can be used to help ELs learn about the life of Neil Armstrong and his famous first steps on the moon. 5y

Was so happy to host Brad Meltzer in my store tonight for the launch of his newest “I Am” book! Great for the kiddos!!!

LauraBeth He was my neighbor in Hoboken, NJ when he was going to Columbia and when he wrote his first book. I‘m always so happy for his success! One of these days I‘m going to read his books 😀 6y
