Chester Comix can teach history to reluctant readers! The full-color comic Revolutionary Rumblings traces the political and economic arguments leading up to the American Revolution: the French and Indian War, the Boston Tea Party, the Committees of Correspondence, the Continental Congress and Battle of Lexington and Concord. Jokes and action carry today's students through these hard nonfiction concepts. A timeline across the top of every page helps them place events and people in context. The title on each page is a question, which makes for a good writing prompt. And the comix is indexed, making it a good research tool.
