M. Twain�s THE MAN THAT CORRUPTED HADLEYBURG
This is a project I did with my FCE group for the story The Man that Corrupted Hadleyburg. The story is great, and our topic then was politics, so a story about corruption came in handy. I hope you find use for it. The tasks are comprehension, vocabulary and writing.
