4. DK Readers: Disasters at Sea by Andrew Donkin

In this easy readers, fog, rocks, torpedoes, cannon fire, how dangerous can the sea be? Read the story of five and dangerous voyages. Will the ships make it through safely?

I think this story would be really interesting to boys. Boys love danger and having to have the courage to try to make it through the danger.

I would use this book with 2nd through 4th graders. I would have them make a KWL chart.
I would ask the students what dangerous could happen in the sea? What they want to know about what dangers happen in the sea. I would read the story with the students and have the students verbalize something they learned. (
