In this concluding unit, students will research, read and discuss urban legends from a variety of cultures and countries. Students will participate in a variety of popular reading activities such as shared reading, guided reading, and literature circles. They will then play a group game to
prepare them to write their own urban legend by discussing with group members the different elements of the genre.
Final task: students will assume different publishing roles to compile the urban legends written by the class into a magazine or e-zine. The final task is a celebration
of what they have accomplished as they discuss and respond to the urban legend magazine in a literature circle.
The Teacher Resource Book is organized into 8 to 10 "lessons". Each lesson is broken down into three phases: Pre-Activity, Activity, Post-Activity. The TRB contains methodology,
