Shackleton, The Man Who Saved His Men from Antarctica

Ernst Shackleton was an explorer of the South Pole who never really made it. He kept trying and on his third try he failed and began a story of great adventure. He swore he wouldn't leave any man to die and he saved them all. That is the big story of this amazing life and death story where everybody managed to live. I like this series because it allows my ESOL students to learn to read English while learning American History. The graphics helps a lot.
