Mini Comic Books, what kid wouldn't love it?,
By Teacher Friend "middleschoolssteacher" (Fort Campbell, KY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Success With Reading: 15 Fun-To-Read American History Mini-Books (Paperback)
This is a great activity. Even my mature 8th graders loved to cut up the sheets and make their own coloring books! It surprised me that most of them even read the information. You can't say that for all the activities you expect them to complete.
