A very thorough walk through of the events leading up to, durning, and after the battle. 2 s Tee2e14
Hmm interesting details
Very interesting read, I could definitely use a miniature scale model to help follow along in all the various battles and skirmishes. Keeping track of the myriad of troop movements and their respective leaders was a challenge but fully explained the intricacies of engagements. I really enjoyed the highlighted individuals, especially the after battle updates and tidbits at the end of the book.1 Katie Lebkuecher22 2 Read
1. Twin Text: Will at the Battle of Gettysburg, 1863, Laurie Calkhoven, 2011
2. Calkhovens novel enhances Martins non-fiction text by giving children a view of the days leading up to and during the Battle of Gettysburg from the point of view of a twelve-year-old boy. It follows a boy named Will as he and the other citizens of Gettysburg prepare for the Civil War to find its way there, face the Confederate Army and deal with the aftermath of one of the bloodiest battles of the Civil War. Both books follow the three days of the battle day-by-day and the aftermath. Calkhoven includes an actual teen from Gettysburg, Tillie Pierce, whose story is told in the Prologue of Martins Gettysburg.
3. Martin uses several text structures. He uses description to tell the story of the Battle of Gettysburg and the aftermath of the battle. He also organizes the story using chronological sequencing as each chapter covers a different day. Prior to reading, students can begin to fill in a KWL chart with the information they know about the Civil War and the Battle of Gettysburg and what they would to learn about the battle. They would then fill in the last column as they read the books to answer the questions they asked in the second column.
