In preparation for our 4th grade field trip to Jamestown, VA, we used the historical fiction book Blood on the River by Elisa Carbone as our class read-aloud. This was a great way to make history come alive for our students. The field trip to Jamestown was meaningful to them because of the characters, places and storylines they heard about in the book and they were thrilled to be able to answer questions from our Jamestown tour guide.
