We’re going to reread Dungeon Tales II by Venita Coelho at my book club! And thanks to the Neev Literature Festival, I have an autographed copy!
Short stories work well with my book clubs, especially as we read just excerpts in class. Both volumes of Dungeon Tales were wonderfully received by the children, so I’m excited to read three more stories from this volume!
Roman Numerals
I loved Roman numerals as a child, and I always waited for the chance to use them. Letters that are actually numbers? Fascinating!
We’ll look at numbers, why the introduction of zero was important, and see how difficult it is to add XCIV and VI, for instance, while 94 + 6 is as easy as it gets!
Structure
Stories within a story within a story – I love the idea! What unique structures have writers played with? Is it possible for us to write a story using chat messages? Let’s find out!
Alliteration
How can I read a story about the Badmash Badshah and not encourage the children to play with alliteration? Huge Horribleness, Rudimentary Rottenness, Wonderful Wickedness … What else?
