True Stories Behind the Songs, a beginning text , continues the True Stories tradition -- with a twist. The text features lyrics for eight popular songs along with real, believe-it-or-not stories about the songs and their songwriters. Companion stories related to the topic of the song round out the units. Teachers have long used songs to enliven their classrooms and develop students' language skills. Teachers are encouraged to download the songs from their favorite website, or use a version they already own. Features Exercises for vocabulary development, reading comprehension, and writing and speaking practice help students develop language proficiency. A comprehensive To the Teacher section gives background information about the songs and stories as well as teaching tips.
