Nonfiction (chapter book) Chapter one of this book describes the time and place that President John F. Kennedy was killed. With real black-and-white photos mixed into the text, the explanation of the president's death is explicit and detailed. This book also discusses the important accomplishments of the president during his time in office, the critical laws and achievements he made for our country. The second half of the book was dedicated to the arrest of a possible murderer then the happenings after he was in custody. The mystery surrounding JFK's death is also discussed, along with the possibility of a conspiracy. Who killed the president? This question has been asked since the day he was shot, and several investigations have ensued. This true story is a dramatic one, with graphics to illustrate the horrific day and detailed first-hand accounts to allow the reader an insight on the tragedy. This book would be a great resource for students studying the presidents or this period in history. I think a student could understand much about JFK through this biography and it would be a good source of information if trying to write their own biography of the president. Students could also use this book as a "jigsawing" book, using it as well as others about this president or several presidents to learn more about each one. One student would read this biography, and other students in the group would read other articles about JFK or about a different president altogether. The group would come together, discussing their findings and would leave with a lot more knowledge about the different presidents.
