Sometimes all kids need to ignite their learning is a really, really motivating topic. How do your students feel about bigfoot, the abominable snow monster, or mothman?

Cryptids are those magical creatures that science has yet to prove, but many, many people around the world believe are real. There are even professionals dedicated to the search called cryptozoologists and cryptobiologists.

And whatever you believe about them, the creatures are hugely interesting. They abound in folklore and stories around the world, and just reading up on the different types and stories of encounters is interesting and exciting. Your student just may unlock a whole area of interest that will push him or her to literacy, reading comprehension, writing, research, and more.
