Historically Based Stories With Content Area Connections
The book/workbook "True" Ghost Stories That Teach is a collection of eerie, scary, odd or even funny tales that are possibly true or inspired by true events. These very interesting stories are based on historical happenings with connections to other content areas such as language arts (vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, discussion, and writing practice), math, geometry, geology, drama, geography, art, science, health and more; all with the aim to tie in or review all subjects in a fun and relevant way. The stories themselves are written so that the reader feels involved, eager, and even compelled to read more. The following exercises are varied from simple true/false statements, fill in the blank, unscrambling, crossword puzzles, sequencing, map and timeline filling out, drawing, matching, discussion prompts, paragraph or simple essay writing and more. "True" Ghost Stories That Teach are geared for students reading on a 4th-5th-grade level, so they are appropriate for regular education, special education, ESL, and adult learners. |
