Do old books lose their value? If the book is Four American inventors, one could say no. Written in language for children, the book offers a simple biography of four of America's great inventors from the Industrial Revolution era - Edison, Fulton, Morse, and Whitney. Making this selection even nicer is that it is available for reading online for free! For a class of students with intermediate and higher English language proficiency, I would assign a book report for one inventor. Students with lower English language proficiency would write a report on one chapter of an inventor. I would probably have the class vote for one or two inventors, so that I could create some type of outline or reading guide for the text.
