How they croaked

Bragg, G. (2011). How they croaked. New York, NY: Walker & Company.

How they Croaked is an informational book that tells about how several well known people died. In his collection, Bragg gives us details about each person's life. We can read about the lives of people such as Julius Caesar, Cleopatra, Einstein, and George Washington, just to name a few. After reading their stories, the author also provides a page of interesting facts for each person. Bragg provides a table of contents for readers, as well as an index for easy to find topics. In addition, we can also find a list of online resources for readers to learn more about each person mentioned in his book.

As an extended activity, have students visit one of the websites listed in the back of the book for one of the person's mentioned.  Allow students to share with their classmates something new that they learned.
