Summary: This is a text that represents both the historical detail and the magical mystery of the life of legend Johnny Appleseed. The story starts at his birth and progresses throughout his life exposing his successes and struggles to the reader. Most people know that his legend portrays him traveling the country and planting apple seeds, but there is so much rich fact to his true story that this author deems necessary to expose.
Implementation: Johnny Appleseed day is typically celebrated on September 26 or March 11. I would incorporate it into my Language Arts lesson and then integrate it with Social Studies. Implementation would include helping students to learn about legends and what they are, deciphering between true and false/fiction and non-fiction, as well as critically analyzing sources to determine if they are reputable or not. For Social Studies, students could use maps to pinpoint areas that Johnny Appleseed covered.
