UMHB Library & I like tornadoes, so I just looked up a book about it
Grades 5-8
• The topic of the book is about specific tornadoes that could be classified as the top 10 worst tornadoes in recorded history.
• The topic is presented almost like what I would describe a case file. The pictures are tilted at an angle and all throughout the page while each section describes a different tornado.
• There are sidebars that give more information about the scale used, primary sources cited as eyewitness accounts, glossary & index.
• This could be used with children when talking about a natural disaster in a science class or if a book is being read in history or English class mentions a tornado then it could be used as a reference. I would also use this in a science class before we talked about tornadoes as a Segway to see if they could create their own ‘tornado’ in a control setting.
