Welcome to Litsy!

Short books! Yeah! 5 & 20. #bookspin #doublespin #dearAmerica

I got this for Christmas, and had been reading ever since. Finally finished. Not a bad book (although there‘s heavy usage of secondary sources). But, since I live near Valley Forge (and have been there a few times), am familiar with the history surrounding it. This also covers some area events before and after Valley Forge, such as the Battle of the Brandywine which is basically down the road from me. A good refresher in some parts for me.

This HF book by Anne Rockwell is great for a social studies/ELA lesson. It tells the legendary story of Molly Pitcher, who saved the day during the revolution. It would be great for a DR or a RA. #ucflae3414f19

Can show children what it was like we when people had to fight for their freedom and rights.

A book with forged bonds of friendship to help possible survival. A great book that represents hunger, cold, and threat. Keeping secrets to see if it will help their freedom and become an American. A great book to read about the history of the fight for freedom. Genre: Historical Fiction; Published: 2010

“I laughed then, walking out of Valley Forge the way I walked into it- with my friends”

I think older students will really enjoy reading this book along with “Chains.” They are interesting ways for them to learn about American history.

Forge is the sequel to Laurie Halse Anderson‘s book “Chains.” Forge is about young soldiers in Valley Forge who are just trying to survive.

When I was a pre-teen I was like #gimmegimmegimme all the Dear America books. #ABBAinAugust
