(2) 4-6 This investigation into Thanksgiving's roots covers many topics, from Sarah Josepha Hale's quest to make it a national holiday to the origins of Thanksgiving football games. Colman's strength is sharing her research process with readers, starting with a survey designed to elicit questions about the holiday, and indicating the ways those responses led her to her own search for further information.
