Illustrated Non-Fiction Book: Our Violent Earth
Author: National Geographic
Grade Level: 5th - 8th
Pages: 103
Our Violent Earth is jammed packed with beautiful photographs that is supplemented with accurate text. This book would surely engage readers of any age but is geared for upper elementary and middle school readers. The real life photos are sure the capture the interests and engage students into the content with every page. Topics included in this book are: earthquakes, volcanoes, stormy weather, drought and fire, water and even a special story about California. The book was published in 1982 so some of the information is a bit outdated but it would be interesting for students to see changes over time. Students will take a "trip" around the world as they read this book and learn about places such as Iceland, Israel, and places all over the United States.
The photos and captions alone can tell a lot about the extreme weather that occurs around the world. This book is a great supplement text to any unit about weather because so much can be taught just through the pictures. The chapters in this book can be stand alone if talking about one topic or used to discuss the whole weather unit. Highly recommend taking a look. Or visit the National Geographic website for more updated photos.
