Oh no! Thank you SO much for bringing this to my attention. It appears that the site is no longer active. I am so sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. I use it as part of my WWII unit and will also be unable to access it. Let me look into how to refund your account, as this has never happened to me before. Again, thank you!

bbarton re: Myths - Fire Chart
What book did you use for these stories? Is it by chance the old Preston Hill literature book?
January 23, 2011
Melissa Mosquera (TpT Seller)
Unfortunately, the 3 myths I use with this chart have been passed down and copied so many times, it's unclear what book they originated from. But, the titles are as follows: Prometheus retold by Bernard Evslin, The Origin of Fire retold by Ella E. Clark, and How Humans Got Fire retold by Susan Bennett. I wish I could scan them for you, but am concerned about copyright infringement.Hopefully these come from the literature book you mentioned. Thanks!

Melissa Stout (TpT Seller) re: Westing Game Ch 1-8 Worksheets/Activities
Hello Melissa, I love what you have for chapters 1-8 and am wondering if you have worksheets for the rest of the chapters! Thanks
December 5, 2010
Melissa Mosquera (TpT Seller)
Thank you! I'm so happy to hear that you like the materials for chapters 1-8. Unfortunately, I did not create similar materials for the rest for the book, as I had a different plan for those chapters that was more interactive and difficult to put into a lesson to share. Thanks for your question and best wishes!
