Negative Positive
Title: American Girl
Review: This book is part of the American Girls Collection. This attractive little novel tells the story of Josefina and her family in 1824. The book will make an effective integration with discussions about US history regarding Mexican trade in the US, Indian blankets, weaving, and textiles. The book provides a project for tie-dying a shirt using onions. This book has the potential to quickly engage students with US history in a personal way. The novel may prompt students to write their own novel. The teacher could write or say the first line, then the first student could add a line, then the next student could add an idea, and so on, until and entire story was created with a contribution from each student in the class.
