John Glenn



Title: John Glenn
Author: Thomas Streissguth
Genre: Biography






Classroom Connection
In Elementary school I always enjoyed reading autobiographies and biographies because they were about real people that helped to create the world we live in today. I think it is important for students to learn about history and reading as well as researching biographies is usually more interesting than reading strickly out of the textbook. One way to make learning about biographies more interesting is to have students write their own autobiographies. Students could then share these autobiographies with their peers, which would help students to get to know one another better. This could potentially be a good getting to know you activity at the beginning of the year.
