The state of Washington is a beautiful state located in the Northwestern part of the United State. This book has tons of good information about the state, its landscapes, its history, state government and even recent facts.
“About 4,000 years ago, before European explorers came, there were many Native Americans living in Washington. About 70 tribes occupied the land. “ Page 18
I love that these books come in a series, so each state has a book with tons of information. I would use these books to help my students explore other states. Each student would pick a state and create an informational brochure. This is a great way to allow my students to be creative and take responsibility for selecting the information from the book that they deem appropriate. Once all the brochures are done I would have each student present an interesting fact about their state.
