 Braveheart
(Penguin Readers: Level 3 S.)
Braveheart is the true story of William Wallace, who led the
Scottish people to fight for the country they loved. "Penguin
Readers" is a series of simplified novels, film novelizations
and original titles that introduce students at all levels to
the pleasures of reading in English. Originally designed for
teaching English as a foreign language, the series' combination
of high interest level and low reading age makes it suitable
for both English-speaking teenagers with limited reading skills
and students of English as a second language. Many titles in
the series also provide access to the pre-20th century literature
strands of the National Curriculum English Orders. "Penguin
Readers" are graded at seven levels of difficulty, from
"Easystarts" with a 200-word vocabulary, to Level
6 (Advanced) with a 3000-word vocabulary. In addition, titles
fall into one of three sub-categories: "Contemporary",
"Classics" or "Originals". At the end of
each book there is a section of enjoyable exercises focusing
on vocabulary building, comprehension, discussion and writing.
Some titles in the series are available with an accompanying
audio cassette, or in a book and cassette pack. Additionally,
selected titles have free accompanying "Penguin Readers
Factsheets" which provide stimulating exercise material
for students, as well as suggestions for teachers on how to
exploit the Readers in class. Braveheart.
