North Carolina Ghost Stories

Here's the link to some North Carolina Legends and Ghost Stories: http://www.secretary.state.nc.us/kidspg/legends.htm. They are all from Richard Walser's North Carolina Legends.

I used the stories "Girl at the Underpass" and "Maco Light" in my classroom.

I made "Maco Light" into a Radio Play that I will post tomorrow.

Here are some QAR questions I created for "Girl at the Underpass":

1. Where did the man meet the hitchhiker? (RIGHT THERE)
2. What time of year was it? (RIGHT THERE)
3. Where is the man's home? (RIGHT THERE)
4. What clothing was the hitchhiker wearing? (RIGHT THERE)
5. Why did the man slow down his car before he saw the hitchhiker? (THINK AND SEARCH)
6. What do you think the word "resplendent" means? (YOU AND THE AUTHOR)
7. What happened to the hitchhiker? Where did she go? (THINK AND SEARCH)
8. Who was the woman who answered the door when the man knocked? (THINK AND SEARCH)
9. Will the hitchhiker ever make it home? (YOU AND THE AUTHOR)
10. If you quarreled with someone, would you ask them to drop you off at the place where the hitchhiker was dropped off by her date? Why or why not? (ON YOUR OWN)
