Annotation:
This version of the classic poem provides visuals to go along with the flowing text. The poem follows Paul Revere as he sets out to warn people about the impending arrival of the British. Dark colored illustrations set the mood for the seriousness of the event.
Personal Reaction:
I had heard the poem before, but this illustrated version made an impact on me. The illustrations accompanied the text perfectly, using dark colors to make me understand the seriousness of Paul Revere's message and the lives of the people living in that time. I now believe that without the illustrations, the poem falls flat. This illustrated version is excellent in all ways.
Single Book-length poem
Curricular Connection: 8th Grade history
