Alphabet US History Book Ideas
Create an alphabet book by writing a fact for each letter of
the alphabet that concerns an event or person we studied in
US History this year. You will be graded on if you have a
colored picture and a US History fact that we have studied
this year for each letter. Choose facts that you don’t know
very well in order that you may learn those facts!
