Children’s Book Assignment—Chapters 6 and 7

You are trying to provide the information found in Chapters 6 and 7 in such as way that a student who is not as knowledgeable as you can understand the important aspects of what these chapters are trying to convey. While you are summarizing the information provided in these chapters, your writing goes beyond this: use the 6-traits of the writing process to communicate the information in a more interesting and meaningful manner.

Below are the headings and subheadings for chapters 6 and 7, which are the chapters covering the dates required in your book—prewestern influence to statehood to 1910. You need to read these two chapters and write a summary for each. Each summary will comprise one page of your book.

Picture reference page (if appropriate)

Pictures may be hand drawn or taken off of the Internet; they must relate to the text on the page. If they come off of the Internet, be sure they are clear and not pixilated. Cut and paste with care.

You must cite (footnote) where your pictures came from. A simple citation would look like this[1]: Using Word, select “insert”, “footnote”, click “OK”—you’ll find that will automatically bring you to the bottom of the page (seen below); there is where you place the information showing where you got the picture.
