A proposito di questo titolo

In 1752, the sky in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, darkened. A thunderstorm was coming. Benjamin Franklin was ready to perform an experiment. He wanted to show the electrical nature of lightning. His experiment was a success, but he didn’t discover electricity that day. Myths about Franklin and his experiment have been told for years. Discover what’s real and what’s fiction through infographics, primary sources, and expertly leveled text.

Recensioni della critica

American history is full of myths and legends. This series explores common misunderstandings as well as figures and events that may have been omitted from most narratives. For instance, many people believe that Edison invented the light bulb, unaware of other inventors in the field, or they may think that everyone who participated in the Gold Rush became wealthy. Text boxes highlight extra facts like Ben Franklin having coined the term “electrician.” Sidebars offer additional details, such as Sacajawea’s involvement in the Lewis and Clark expedition. Photos and other images accompany the text. Many of the titles have a final page with statements paired as “fiction” and “fact” to set the record straight. A glossary and recommendations for further reading also support readers. VERDICT A ­series that will spark vigorous discussion in the classroom. (Suzanne Costner, Fairview Elementary School, TN)
