Best Book Ever about California Missions by Randy Womack
The first section of the book is full of background information on the missions and includes maps, questions, and research activities. This background information is very important to study before students begin looking at the section on the individual missions, which follows. Although the individual mission sections can be studied in any order, the author suggests using them in order for two reasons: First, the “New Words to Learn” for each section are in order of appearance, and second, the historical stories of the missions sometimes overlap or have references to preceding sections.
Each individual mission section contains a map of the mission chain with a space to write in the names of all missions with the space filled in for the current mission. This is followed by new words to learn (look up in dictionary). Then there is a diagram of the mission compound for the students to label. These pages are followed by a fact sheet on the mission and a short history of the founding of the mission. Whenever space allows, there is a crossword, word search or other puzzle relating to the information that has been presented. Then there is “The Mission Today” page followed by a page with review questions and bonus activities. for students to complete. There is also a black and white photo of each mission included. In all there are 220 pages, including extra bonus activities — overall reviews, current addresses, founding dates and information charts for both Californias, timeline, craft ideas, and more — answer keys, Resource List, and Glossary. Out of Print.
