The 80 reproducible pages hold diversified lesson plans designed to use with junior high students. The unit centers around two notable literature selections by Newbery Award-winning authors(that will need to be purchased or borrowed): The Serpent Never Sleeps and The Witch of Blackbird Pond. For each of these novels, activities have been created to set the stage for reading, to foster enjoyment of the book, and to extend the concepts which have been presented. In addition, the unit is thematically conncted to the curriculum through activities in language arts (including daily writing activities), math, science, social studies, art, music, and life skills. Many of these activities encourage cooperative learning. Unit management tools--including suggestions, bulletin board ideas, and reading response journal ideas--give students the opportunity to unify their knowledge into products that can be shared both within and outside the classroom.
