Alaska a Land in Motion is a useful book that contains research and facts about the Alaskan landscape, it’s people, and the regions that make up the state. It is an easy ready with visuals that support the facts in a way that is inviting and exciting. Because this book is published by a university, we can trust that the information within it is accurate. I would recommend this book to all Alaskan students and any students outside of Alaska who want a better understanding of the state.
Alaskan Connections: All the information in this book directly relates to the state of Alaska and its people.
Related activity: Introduce the book when learning about Alaska. Break the class up into five groups and have them each research a region of the state.
