Social Studies Extension
The book, The Arrow Over the Door is centered around the Revolutionary War, so the book can be used in a Social Studies unit on the Revolutionary War.  The book is written from two different children's points of view.  Since it is written in this way the students will relate to it better than a regular history book.  The two children are also on different sides of the war, so the reader gets both perspectives.  It is always good to show as many different views as possible.
