We read a few books on
Benjamin Franklin. Because my kids are young, the study was
fairly simple. We read,
'Benjamin Franklin: Young Printer (Childhood of Famous Americans)'
by Augusta Stevenson
and 'The Story of Benjamin Franklin: Amazing American (Dell Yearling Biography)
' by Margaret
Davidson. The kids really enjoyed them both. The first one
was in more story form with dialogue, while the second one
was mainly telling about his life from beginning to end.
They went well with each other. Even though we were reading
about the same things, they were in different formats and it
was great review for the kids. We even got to calling him
Ben!!

Acrobat to open these.
Benjamin Franklin
Notebooking Pack
Here
are a few notebooking pages I created for this. They are
available in dotted lines for younger kids and ruled for
older kiddos.
This set includes a few
notebooking sheets for general information, a sheet for his
inventions and ideas, his Thirteen Virtues copywork and a
project idea using those virtues. You can grab the
dotted line pdf here and the
ruled pdf here. Enjoy!!
To see more sample pages go here.
Thirteen Virtues Copywork
We learned about Ben's
thirteen virtues and I made this copywork to go with it. It
includes both dotted and ruled lines in the same pdf.
This is available in the
Benjamin Franklin Notebooking Pack, but I thought I would
put it separately also.
You can grab it here.
More on Ben
This file includes two
notebooking sheets that ask a few questions to get you
started. They go well with the Benjamin Franklin Notebooking
Pack or you can use them alone.
To see more sample pages go here.
Your can grab the files in
either
dotted or
ruled.
