The War of the Worlds by H. G. Wells tells of Martians who land in England and the narrator who survives their attack. There are 13 sheets for 8th grade here, all with answer keys. They move from the opening chapter and the falling star through the cylinder, the white flag, Dead London and the epilogue. Creative sheets compare colors before and after the invasion, plan a radio broadcast and set the book beside a radio script.
