Battlefields

Battlefields
By: Jennifer B. Gillis
Nonfiction



This book is a simple book that describes the different characteristics of battlefields and things that you would find at battlefields. Each page has a different heading and some words are in bold. At the end there is a glossary and index. It discusses things such as fortifications, weapons, and monuments.

I would use this book with my ELL students in my class. Since it uses simple language it would be easier for them to read and understand. After they read the book I would have my ELL students work together to summarize what they learned in English. They would then individually write down a few interesting facts that they learned. The consistency of the book would be a good model to help teach them about text structures as well.
