I am blown away by what you have created here. We created this same lesson over the summer pairing these two books and have been scrambling for support. You have made me a happy dept. chair tonight! I'll definitely be back to see what
you're up to next.
Thank you. It is hard to find nonfiction books that students find interesting. I've discovered that students really enjoy into this series. I'm glad you found the guide helpful.
As a homeschool mom, this is a wonderful resource for teaching Literature to my 3 children ages 6-10. I wanted to include a non-fiction book in our curriculum and this is perfect. The book and some of the activities may be easier for middle-school age, but my children are all reading beyond their grade-levels and the worksheets/activities are easily adaptable to different ages. This is just the kind of resource I have been looking for! Thank you!
