I SURVIVED the shark attacks of 1916! 🦈 This HF, IR, New York Times bestselling series book is a riveting take on the historical aspects of the shark attacks that took place in 1916. We learn about Chet, the main character who just moved to New Jersey to live with his Uncle Jerry. In the mix of meeting new friends and familiarizing himself with his new life, they learn of shark attacks happening around New Jersey!

acassatta Life gets pretty extreme for Chet and his friends. This book teaches us about trusting your instincts and the meaning of friendship. With this being a book for grades above the primary, we can see UDL principle 2.1-clarify vocabulary and symbols as well as 3.2-highlight patterns and big ideas. In addition, our ESOL strategy #30-encourage the use of diagrams and drawings to identify concepts is a great option for ESOL students for comprehension. 4y
ztorres I love the I survived books. I have a few collection of those books. I can't get enough. My nieces and nephew love borrowing them from time to time. 4y
DrSpalding I read this book and had no idea sharks could get into rivers like this! Excellent choice that students will love. Get students into series books and they will keep reading one after the other! 4y
