Description
Your learners will enjoy the rigor and creativity of our engaging activities built from best teaching practices. We want to make your lesson planning journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This novel study includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of lessons. Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns it to the standards. We’ve filmed a training videos on how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.
To make your digital experience smooth, we include instructions (w/ screenshots!) of how to download and organize your resources in Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. We’ve added Google Forms versions of each activity that auto-corrects their responses using a suggested answer key (which you can adjust afterward or modify your answer key) and compiles grades into a spreadsheet with learners’ names and class periods to make things easier for you to grade all in one place (some types of question aren’t able to auto-grade, though, because of the short-answer format).

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ This is by far the best unit I have purchased. My kids LOVED this book and the activities were so helpful.
♥ This unit plan for Wonder is amazing! It’s very well done, and I especially like the Vocabulary quizzes and Quickwrites. I use the quickwrites as Bellwork to get students thinking about what we read the day before or to preview what we’re going to read today. They spark great discussions!
♥ Many great activities. Well done, nice graphics. The Pre-reading biases were amazing, and we had wonderful class discussions and debates using them as prompts. The students in my grade 6 class beg for more everyday:) The quickwrites are also great to get them writing, thinking, responding and relating. A very good product. Thank you for sharing.
♥ This is AMAZING!!! I love all the components and am so appreciative that there are lessons and a pacing guide. It gets very repetitive when novel studies are just a lot of worksheets, this is a
COMPLETE unit and it’s awesome. Thank you!
♥ This unit is fantastic! I love how modern and creative it is. My class will love this!
♥ This is going to be such a time saver for me. All of the activities are creative and I love that there is such a variety. Thank you!
