🎃 Ready for Halloween? Dollar Deals Sale!

 

Happy October!

I've joined with several great sellers to bring you a TpT Dollar Deals Sale for Halloween products. Each of us chose two resources. 


First off is . . .


https://www.teacherspayteachers.com/Product/Middle-School-Ghost-Story-Halloween-Grade-7-Reading-Passage-Grade-6-Reading-ELA-6788947


Back before Covid, I was a tour guide for Historical Haunts. I would dress in my Victorian gown and guide guests through the haunted areas of downtown Memphis. 


As I explained on our tour, we may not be the most haunted city, but we certainly are the most cursed.  


This was due to the Chickasaw Tribe being angered by Hernando DeSoto, who brought European diseases to their tribe, such as Smallpox and venereal disease. Explorers were rarely nice to natives.


Everything from Memphis to the northern areas surrounding her has been cursed from then to forevermore. We had a nasty bout of Yellow Fever, a miserable boat wreck from the Sultana, and recently, many of our trolleys caught fire.


As a tour guide, I visited several ghosts, but my favorite has always been Claude Pugh! Now, you and your kids can read about him for only a dollar! This spunky ten-year-old ghost has a lot of personality, as told in his story and my author's note. 


This high-interest, no-prep reading passage includes:

  • 5 Page Story
  • Author Notes
  • 6 Vocabulary Words
  • 4 Additional Vocabulary Words
  • Vocabulary Fill Ins
  • 9 Discussion Questions
  • 4 Short Writing Prompts
  • 2 Research Questions
  • Print, link to Google, or use on Easel
  • Complete Answer Key Included

If you purchase this story for a dollar, I promise it won't disappoint!


My other dollar deal is . . .


This resource started as a Harry Potter pack, but due to copyright, I changed it to a Wizards Puzzle Pack. Unfortunately, I didn't write the Harry Potter books. Nonetheless, this is a fun brain teaser pack that my kids enjoyed when I was still in the classroom.


Check out what you get for just a dollar!

  • 5 Logic Puzzles
