Description
Dive deep into Myths and Legends, Fables & Fairy Tales with our Stories Through Time Time Travel Adventure. Imagine your students have been taken in a time machine back in time. To get back to the present day they need to complete tasks and collect mosaic tiles. Once their mosaic tile is complete, they can use the time machine to get home.
Along the way, they read 18 current (2014-2019) Junior Journals and Level 2 and 3 School Journals. They complete activities that promote higher-order thinking and the use of reading comprehension strategies. Click here to see which journal stories are included.
