Summary: The book opens with Napoleons birth and early life in Corsica as Napoleone di Buonaparte. Napoleons upbringing including resenting the French, wanting to be in the military and wanting better for his family. Napoleon is granted a chance to go to a military academy in France and soon begins adopting their culture, even changing his name to it's French spelling, as he quickly climbs the ranks of the French military. As his conquests spread, his ego and paranoia grow, leading to his downfall and eventual exile. Personal Reaction: I thought this biography was interesting. The writing and facts are appropriate for a third, fourth or fifth grader. The illustrations help form a better idea of what was going on. Classroom Extension Ideas: 1. Using dots (markers or pencil erasers dipped in paint) have students illustrate on a map how Naopleon's armies spread through Europe. 2. Have the students write a Pro's and Con's list about Napoleons ideas and decide for themselves if he was good or bad. geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
