Nancy Drew: #15 Tiger Counter by: Stefan Petrucha & Sarah Kinney (Graphic Novel)
Nancy Drew is at it agian finding a mystery to solve. Nancy and her two best friends (George and Bess) have been volunteering at River Heights Animal Protection Center when things start to get a bit fishy. They've always wondered what the huge crates are for and Jack Kingsley has always given a weak answer when asked about them. When they were called out to rescue a cat that had been attacked by a coyote pieces of the puzzle started to fall together for Nancy Drew. Find out what Jack's big secret is as you follow Nancy, George, and Bess on their cat adventure.
Need a way to capture your students attention while teaching sequence of events? Nancy Drew's graphic novel is a book for you. To include the students in the reading of this book during class, I would split the pages up among the students and assign them a character. Not only are the students engaged in the reading but as we read the book as a class we will stop for discussion to talk about the events that take place along the way. After we have finished reading, the students will write a journal entry stating why having a sequence of events is important and how the interest level of this book would be effected if the events were out of order or didn't lead up to one another.
