Title: Truck
Author: Donald Crews was born in Newark, New Jersey, in 1938. In 1980 Truck won the Caldecott Honor. Crews stories do not often involve humans. His common subjects are modern technology (travel vehicles) and childhood memories.
Publisher: Greenwillow Books (1991)
Genre: Fiction
Grade Level: 1-2
Brief Synopsis: This is a picture book about the road. This book shows different signs like east, west, north, and south. It also shows different types of bridges and speed limit signs.
Theme/Skill: Direction/ Social Studies/Navigation of the road.
Pre-activity: I will draw a compass on the board and explain the importance of directions in terms of north, south, east, and west.
Post-activity: Students will draw a picture of a map. The map must include; bridges, street signs, roads, and the use of labeling the directions (north, south, east, and west).
My Refection of the book persuading people to read it:
This is a great book to introduce mapping for the younger grades. The book provides creative striking illustrations to help children understand the journey of the road. The book uses very simple terms for the children to understand when talking about directions and mapping.
