Game Day with the Oregon Ducks, by Robert Young, is an insider’s look at a UO football game. Although written for kids, this book is for curious Duck fans of all ages. Rich with photos, the book is packed with details about the games at Autzen. Did you know that 2,000 people work on a game day? Or, that the band practices about ten hours for their half-time show that last 6-8 minutes? Or, that the Ducks players wear GPS units in their shoulder pads to gather important information during games? You do now, and you’ll find out much more when you read the book.
Keep the book for yourself, or add it to your classroom library. You can also make it part of your curriculum by using the Common Core-based activities (including VTS suggestions). You’ll find them under the Resource tab on Robert’s website (www.realwriting.us).
But wait, it gets better. The publisher has agreed to offer TEACHERS a special promo for a limited time. If you order from their website gamedaywiththeoregonducks.com and enter the promo code TEACH on the checkout page, you’ll get 25% off the retail price.
