Students begin to grasp the living reality of history.
This unit leads students to use essential reading skills such as skimming, distinguishing fact and fiction, assessing titles and beginnings, and recognizing hidden messages. Lessons promote both creativity and analytical skills aimed to accommodate learning styles and multiple intelligences.
