Big Greg's Campaign (Springboard, Features of an Exposition - Letter and Poster)

A very interesting grade-school reading and educational book from the McGraw Hill/Wright Group Springboard series. It is about a fireman who it upset about going to fires that could have been prevented.He decides to write a letter to the Fire Chief. This book uses this example to teach students how to write an exposition letter; a proposal letter written to someone explaining a problem and a detailed proposal for a solution. Fireman Big Greg's proposal is to make a poster for school children to learn fire safety.It then teaches students how to decide what important features or ideas should be in the poster and then how to make it.This is an outstanding teaching tool that uses a grade-school age story to explain step-by-step details to problem-solving.Would be great for individual use or by a teacher
