Roanoke: The
Mystery of the Lost Colony is about a colony formed in North America that
disappeared. The book is written in
narrative form. It focuses on different members of the Roanoke colony. What
will happen to them?
It seems like Nancy
Sabato used the computer to design this book. The warm colors used on the front
cover give the book an inviting feel. The use of drawings and actual
photographs help make the book more interesting. The pictures are spread out
throughout the book, which helps break up the text.
This book could
be used in a fifth or sixth grade classroom. This book could be used for a
social studies lesson. Students could compare and contrast Roanoke to other early
colonies. This book could be used for a writing lesson. Students could compare
life in Roanoke to life in their hometowns. This book could be used for another
social studies lesson. Students could make a timeline of events that happened
in Roanoke. This book has not won any awards.
