Assignment 4 - 2 Books

__ Personal Use Book __

For personal enjoyment, I have selected the book Cast of Characters by Max Lucado. This book features Lucado relating the stories of people in the Bible to our lives today. His purpose is to help us find hope the same way they found theirs - by relying on their God. Lucado is one of my favorite authors, so I began my search in iBooks looking for books he has authored. I enjoy the way that Lucado writes - it is like you are having a conversation with him. When I need time to relax with a good book I usually grab one of his, because I can read them very easily and complete them in a short amount of time.

__ Educational Use Book __

For educational use, I have selected CK-12 Chemistry, Volume 1. This textbook was one that was suggested on the Marian iPad wiki and is free in iBooks. This book would be beneficial in my eighth grade science classroom as a resource to use as students learn about the history of the atom. It is difficult to do experiments to teach that concept and this book is very understandable - almost like it having a discussion with the reader. An example of its use would be to have the students read Chapter 4: Atomic Theory. After reading that section the students could write a summary of the people and events that have helped us to understand what an atom really is.
