Athough Eve Bunting's book So far from the Sea is a really sad book, I still enjoyed hearing it in class. Books are such a great way to retell history. They are a good way to get students wanting to know or learn more about history. I recently asked my 13 year old nephew what he thought about the bombing of Pearl Harbor and he replied asking me what that was. I think it's really sad.
Since starting this class, I have been looking for different book for my classroom library that I hope to have when I begin teaching. I hope I can have a wide variety of history books. I really hope if I have them readily available that I will be able to spark enough interest on the topic that they will want to read them.
