STORYLINE
The story takes place in the little town of Deadeye. It’s a small town with a single street.
Deadeye was a happy place – then, things changed. There was not a single drop of rain for 3 months. The river dried up and the land was dry as a bone.
The people wondered what to do and a meeting was held at Rosie Mae's saloon bar to decide what action to take.
At that very meeting old Josephine recalls a story her Grandpappy told her about the old disused copper mine and how a visit to that mine to take from it an important object changed the luck of Deadeye. There was, however mention of a curse but hey it was only a story after all!
Only a story? Well the townsfolk decide to visit that mine and what happened from that point on turned out to be mighty strange!
There are 16 Over To You Activities fully described but you will find your students will want to try many more as they get creative with the storyline!
