Read about a make believe hunting expedition that goes horribly wrong, a very intelligent cat with a sense of humor, a teacher from the dark side, a mind bending trip into the future, a shoot-out in deep space, a slap-stick look at the world of wrestling, the life of a ball in a pin-ball machine, and more...there is something here for everyone of your readers. Get them digging into the text using the comprehension strategies outlined in our video tutorials.
Use the follow-up activities to broaden their understanding about how narrative text works and deepen their thinking about important issues raised.
