Literacy: a story from history

We learned some historical facts about the eruption of Mount Vesuvius in AD79, which buried the Roman town of Pompeii, near Naples in Italy. We imagined what it must have been like for the eighteen hours that the volcano was erupting, with ash and pumice stones raining down on the town. Buildings were collapsing and the streets were filling with ash. At home please complete every box of the sheet. We will be using our sheets later this week to write stories about Pompeii.
