NIE Serial Stories

Our NIE teachers and students look forward to the annual Serial Story that runs in The Columbian newspaper and ePaper every spring.

Every year we choose a Serial Story to run in our newspaper and ePaper for Clark County students and teachers to enjoy as an additional NIE tool within the classroom. Teachers who sign up through NIE to follow the Serial Story will also receive the story’s curriculum to use as a guide.

Typically, you will see the Serial Story in the paper running chapter by chapter every Tuesday & Thursday, March-May with the exception of spring break.

This Year’s Serial Story

Future Times Past: The Eagles’ Tale

Written by Rafe Martin, Illustrated by Anna Rich

It’s the distant future. The People, as they call themselves, remember the distant past—when the world was dark, when nations and cities vanished in the wake of dreadful wars and nature’s devastation. But the People also remember that they have been helped by the Eagles—mysterious, powerful aliens who have come periodically to help rebuild life as it once was. Now, one hundred years after their last visit, the Eagles return to a nearby mountaintop. The signs, however, of their latest arrival are ominous. Will they bring good or evil? Rainera, a fourteen-year-old girl with perhaps more pluck than wisdom, secretly decides that she and her friend Dalton will go meet them. What will they find on the mountaintop when they confront the Eagles: the past, the future, or a terrible fate?
