Descriptions
by Adrian Wieser. This book has a vocabulary of about 300 words. It was conceived and tested to encourage active reading: on the left, the reading part and on the right the active part. On each side are grammar games and activities to improve the student's knowledge and test his own understanding of the story. Schwarzbart was a notorious English pirate who operated around the West Indies and the eastern coast of the American Colonies in the early 1700's, who caught the public imagination. Despite his ferocious reputation, there are no verified accounts of his ever having murdered or harmed those he held captive. He was romanticized after his death and became the inspiration for a number of pirate-themed works of fiction across a range of genres. Ages 6 and up; 31 pages; Paperback.
