Serie 1 del Club de Historia Extraña y Alocada

In this ongoing club students will do a book study on the book "How They Croaked: The Awful Ends of the Awfully Famous" by Georgia Bragg for 19 weeks. This book looks at all the strange, silly, and icky ways famous historical characters died. We will do a chapter a week and the chapters are each about a different historical character. The publisher gave us permission to read the chapter in class though every student must have their own copy of the book to participate. If you cant get a copy of the book, then I suggest you take my one-time class, Weird and Wacky History: All the Strange, Silly, and Icky Parts of the Past. The one time class does not require a book. 

After reading together we will discuss it and other historical events about that person's life. A wide range of history from Ancient Egypt to the 1950’s will be covered in this class.
This class will be a mix of read aloud, lecture, and discussion.
