Grand Canyon | Jason Chin

Fossils in the Kaibab Formation tell of a complex ecosystem.

Grand Canyon | Jason Chin

This would be a great book for science and talking about different landforms and important features. It is very informational about the Grand Canyon but is still interesting for children, and anyone, to read.

This is an informational but enticing book about the Grand Canyon. It tells about the different parts of the canyon, and the life that fills its walls. It is very descriptive in talking about the features of the canyon. It shows illustration of a child and their father walking through the canyon, and also some diagrams and informational figures mixed in.

Grand Canyon was written by Jason Chin. This book shares the story of the Grand Canyon and how it is changed over the thousands, possibly millions of years!

Sibert award.Is an informative book about the Grand Canyon, and the information is shared through a girl and her dad while taking a camping trip.The book has information about animals,habitats,fossils, water bodies, and the grand canyon composition. #UCFLAE3414SP21

StephanyNunez This book is great for independent reading (IR) because it allows students to research important natural resources in the US. The UDL principle for this lesson is 7.1 (Optimize individual choice and autonomy). A resource to support the informational text is https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/nature/article/grand-canyon #UCFLAE3414SP21 2y
StephanyNunez because it allows the students to explore the topic further and watch videos of the grand canyon. ESOL strategy 30 (Encourage the use of diagrams and drawings as aids to identify concepts and to see relationships)#UCFLAE3414SP21 2y
ToddSalerno I‘m interested in the narrative nature of this nonfiction book! I think that would be a much more engaging way to disseminate information for many students as opposed to just simply reading a textbook. 2y
Betrinag I was interested because this was a nonfiction book, but reading that it‘s told by a girl and her father hooked me! I agree that this delivers the information in a more easily digestible manner- can‘t wait to add this to my library! 2y
DrSpalding This book has been on my to be read pile since it won the award! It could be an independent read but it could also be an excellent book to read during a geography unit! I love the idea of watching videos about the area and you do not get better than National Geographic! 2y

This book was an informative Caldecott Honor winner with beautiful illustrations that really help convey the information. The illustrations are detailed and display the Grand Canyon beautifully.

I would use this book in my future classroom because it expands on a beautiful scope of nature that children have probably heard of, but don't know about.

This non fiction book did an excellent job portraying the beauty of the Grand Canyon. It discusses the wildlife and plant life there and how that adds to the environment. It also is a Caldecott medal book.

Grand Canyon was written by Jason Chin and published in 2017. The book talks about the Grand Canyon and all the features that come with it. This text is very informative with good illustrations to represent the different aspects of the National Park. I think children would find it fascinating to see all the parts incorporated.

Grand Canyon, written and illustrated by Jason Chin, is a NF book that takes you on a beautiful journey through the Grand Canyon. It describes the beauty of the Grand Canyon rather than just saying that it's a hole in the ground. It describes the plants and animals that live there. This book is a Caldecott Medalist and would be the perfect book for a RA. #UCFLAE3414F19

JRone UDL Strategy 3.3 Guide information processing and visualization would be helpful to children who need help processing the factual information of the text. ESOL strategy #44 Focus on thinking skills; predict, categorize, classify, observe and report (oral-written-pictorial), sequence, summarize also help an ESOL learner follow along with all the new information especially if they knew nothing about the Grand Canyon in the first place. 4y
JRone http://www.theclassroombookshelf.com/2017/03/grand-canyon/ is a great website that provides multiple resources for teachers through all grades of elementary school. It even has a Jason Chin author study. 4y
kgarzon Your review really intrigued me; As someone who was able to visit the Grand Canyon once when I was little, I really want to read this book myself so I can see how the author/illustrator captures the beauty and wonder of this major landmark. 4y
DrSpalding I have wanted this book since it won the award last year or the year before. Excellent choice and a wonderful choice for incorporating social studies specifically geography. 3y

I loved this book mostly because of the way they included images, maps, diagrams, illustrations. I love the contrast of the illustrations of the family to the more “science like“ images and maps

I enjoyed this book about the grand canyon. It contains facts about the grand canyon's rock layers, how it was created, animals/insects/reptiles that live there, fossils, rivers, height, etc. At the end of the book, there are facts about human history of grand canyon, ecology, rock structures and the grand mystery still unsolved.

I liked this book! You can really learn a lot of new information about the Grand Canyon and its characteristics after reading it. There are so many pictures of the Grand Canyon itself, along with the wildlife that lives there. I enjoyed reading this book and I think it can be interactive for children.

I really liked his use of colors to show the time of day. I think this is a great tool to teach about the Grand Canyon in a way that makes children forget that they're learning because the illustrations are so good.

Grand Canyon by Jason Chin was on of the 2018 Caldecott honor winners. This is a really beautifully illustrated educational book. You learn so much about the Grand Canyon with pictures that make you want to keep reading. His use of darks hues of blues bring the feeling of early morning alive in the beginning of the book and then brings in brighter colors to illuminate early dawn.
