The book the White House can be used to teach standard SSKH2f which states that the student will identify important American symbols and explain their meaning. While working on this standard one of the important American symbols is the White House. Before reading the book The White House you could have the students ask questions about the White House and see if their questions were answered in the book or have the students guess when the White House was built, who was the first president to stay there or has it ever been destroyed. This book goes along with the standard SSKH2F because it teaches the students the importance of the White House. For example, this book states that, "The White House is more than the president's home and workplace it is an important part of American history and a symbol of America's place in the world."We believe this book goes along with the standard very good. This book goes along with the standard SSKH2, because it is one out of a series of books that teaches students about important American symbols such as the American Flag, the Bald Eagle, and the Statue of Liberty. This book also teaches a lot of interesting facts about the White House.
I agree that the book you chose goes along very well with the standard. I really enjoyed reading your blog also. It was very interesting to read about who designed the White House. I feel that it would be very educational and interesting for students to read this book.
