Mary Morton Cowan, For Teachers

For Teachers:

Magazines in the Classroom

Many of my articles may be in your library. If you cannot find the magazine issues you want for your students, you may purchase back issues of AppleSeeds, Calliope, Cobblestone, and Faces by contacting Cricket Magazine Group. Highlights for Children sometimes has back issues too.

Suggested Ages / Grades

Most of my magazine pieces are for ages 8-14 (grades 3-8).
My six retold folktales are also appropriate for children a bit younger.
My two plays can be performed by students as young as third grade.
The articles in AppleSeeds are written for ages 7-10.

Enrichment Activities

Any of my activities will enrich units of appropriate subject matter.
