Expose your readers to the fascinating legends of Norse Gods Thor and Sif. They read a brief introduction about traditional stories and myths then read several paragraphs on these figures, marking unknown words as they go. Learners look up words in the dictionary if needed; consider providing space on the back for them to guess meaning from context clues and then verify it. There are eight comprehension questions, all of which are displayed. Use this as a jumping off point to get your scholars writing about mythical gods and goddesses!
