Strange But True Stories <show description>
Who isn’t fascinated by the world of the weird? These stories are the ultimate in high-interest reading. Fact or fiction? Real or unreal? Let your students decide. The people, places, and things in these story collections range from the peculiar to the preposterous, from creepy to utterly terrifying, from the odd to the awful. Yet, all are based on eyewitness accounts or the solid scholarship of serious investigators.
Whether it’s a puzzle from the past—like the disappearance of Roanoke Colony—or a modern miracle—such as the survival of a boy who’d been “flash frozen”—your students will be enthralled. Five 76-page readers with Teacher’s Resource CD.
