I'm a 12-year-old girl, and this Magic Tree House Research Guide rules! I love learning about the Revolutionary War and history, so Jack and Annie are the best kids ever! In this guide, you can answer questions like..."What IS the Decloration of Independence?" "Who WAS George Washington and all those other American Heroes?" "What WAS the Boston Tea-Party?" "Who DID rule over the 13 Colonies in the mid/late 1700's?" "What DID the first flag look like?" "What WAS it like to live durning the Coloinal times?" "What WAS the Battle at Valley Forge?" "How DID we win the War?"All these questions answered and MANY, MANY MORE to BE answered in this book: Magic Tree House Research Guide: American Revolution (a Non-Fiction Companion to "Revolutionary War on Wednesday")***Remember to check out the OTHER Research Guides and the Magic Tree House missions, too! And the newest ones: The Merlin Missions, where Jack and Annie go to the time of Camelot and King Arthur! They're all SO(...) super! You keep writing, Mary Pope Osborne, and I'll keep READING!
This book has been a significant tool in adapting the seventh grade Social Studies curriculum (American History) for my two inclusion students with autism who read on a second to third grade reading level. The text is interesting and gets to the basic causes and results of the American Revolution. The illustrations help to provide some concrete visual aids. I also had these students read Revolution on Wednesday for their independent reading in English to further familiarize them with the story of the Revolution and the terminology involved. As a result, my students now have a rudimentary understanding of the American Revolution.I look for more of these wonderful research guides. We will be using the Civil War books when we get to that part of the curriculum.
This is a great chapter book! I really love all of the Magic treehouse books and so does my son! He is in fourth grade and we are using this book for his required reading while studying the American Revolution. I really love all of the Magic treehouse books and so does my son! He is in fourth grade and we are using this book for his required reading while studying the American Revolution. This book has nine chapters, each chapter is between like 8 to 12 pages but there is also pictures on most of the pages so it's not 12 pages of consistent reading. This book is called the facts tracker so there's lots of things that they show in pictures like the clothes that they wore for pictures of actual I am like pots or toilets or things that were used during that time as well as illustrated pictures. The book goes over a variety of topics including the colonies what life was like in the colonies down to what they ate what they wore, it talks about how trouble started and the war the weapons they used in the war how the soldiers dressed how the Declaration of Independence came along Valley Forge the end of the war and at the back at the very end of the book there's a timeline. With all the little extras thrown in my fifth son found this really interesting and it wasn't a chore to read it it was actually fun! Highly highly recommend this book!
This was a great way for my fourth graders to learn about the American Revolution. The reading level was a little lower, but this allowed my lower readers to stay engaged and allowed for research extensions.
My son is 8 years old and I can't get him to read anything. No book will keep his interest at all, until we stumbled upon Magie Tree House - Research Guide. Now I am thrilled that he will lay on his bed and read a few chapters at a time
I have a three and five year old girls and this is the best series going. It is appropriate for the Kindergardener and we have read every single book. Each book in the series is give or take 100 pages but it is a quick and easy read. In reading the books your kids not only get a great story but also pick up on a little history which can lead to some great discussions. I actually read the books with my ipad close by so I can google pictures of the things/places that Jack and Annie (the brother and sister in the books) visit or see. I would recommend these books for every parent/child. When I am done I will be donating the entire set to the local library. Regarding pricing, if your intent is to read the entire series look for don't buy the four book package or single books. There are set of 1-28 and I think there is a set that is everything published 1-48. As with most things, if you buy the whole set you save siginificant money!
I work part-time as a children's librarian and homeschool my first grade daughter, and I absolutely LOVE the Magic Tree House Fact Tracker Series!!! We use them at home AND I recommend them constantly to parents at the library. I think it's important to mention that you do NOT have to have read the regular fiction series to use and enjoy the non-fiction companions. They are completely stand-alone. Anyway - would definitely recommend!!
AMERICAN REVOLUTION (MAGIC TREE HOUSE RESEARCH GUIDE #11) by Mary Pope OsborneThe novel American Revolution was very well done. This book is a companion book to the Magic Tree House book #22 The American Revolutionary War on Wednesday. The Research Guide answers the questions that the characters had inquired about such as, What was life like in colonial times?, What is the Boston Tea Party?, Who are the signers of the Declaration of Independence?. The book not only explains each event but also shows illustrations as well as maps. At the end of the book the author gives great info on how to conduct more research on this time period.I would recommend this book for any classroom who is learning about the Colonial Era.
