Readers learn about Sacagawea's role in history through the text, pictures, and timelines. I personally liked the book's vocabulary use and would additionally include it in my classroom for the diagrams it provides. (ex: pg. 28:Interior of Mandan Earth Lodge). For all of these reasons, I would read it to grades 2nd-4th during social studies or include it in a lesson plan specific to Sacagawea. ( )
