Study Guides for:
These study guides are meant for teachers who would like to take the stories and make them a useful tool in the classroom. The ideas are meant to be doable. There is not a lot of preparation for most of the ideas. I always ask the teachers to let me know if they use any of the ideas and how they went. These study guides are on-line, therefore, they are changeable. Let me know if you have any ideas that you would like to contribute to the following stories. Marilyn
