Book Description

Publication Date: November 1, 1999 | Series: America from Apple Pie to Ziegfeld Follies

America From Apple Pie to Ziegfeld Follies is a four book series of reproducible low level ESL/EFL/Literacy reading and discussion texts. Each unit examines an element of the American experience that will genuinely interest and inform not only immigrants to the United States but also learners abroad who want to know more about the people, history, geography and culture of this great nation. Although the passages are limited to an elementary level of language difficulty, their style remains vivid and authentic. Readers will be inspired by the courage of Harriet Tubman, awed by the beauty of the Grand Canyon, fascinated by the work of the F.B.I., and shocked by the events surrounding Watergate. Topics include: • A: Muhammad Ali • B: Clara Barton • C: George Washington Carver • D: Emily Dickinson • E: Amelia Earhart • F: Jose Feliciano • G: Geronimo • H: Ernest Hemingway • I: Ishmael • J: Jesse James • K: Helen Keller • L: Bruce Lee • M: Christa McAuliffe • N: Ralph Nader • O: Annie Oakley • P: Rosa Parks • Q: Anthony Quinn • R: Betsy Ross • S: Sacajawea • T: Harriet Tubman • U: Uncle Sam • V: Sarah Vaughan • W: Mae West • X: Malcolm X • Y: Cy Young • Z: Babe Zaharias
