This unit includes 84 pages and everything you need to fully study seven of Patricia Polacco's books including Chicken Sunday, Thunder Cake, My Rotten Redheaded Older Brother, Just Plain Fancy, When Lightning Comes in a Jar, The Bee Tree, and The Keeping Quilt. Your students will have the opportunity for learn many comprehension skills and strategies, write about theme related topics that go with each book, and expand their vocabulary. A few pages are available for preview with this listing, but additional previews for each book can be viewed at the following links. This unit is thorough, and the activities would work well in pairs, small group, or as a whole group for skill modeling. Thanks for visiting my shop, and if you have any questions, I will reply quickly.

How nice! Thanks for the compliment. Right now, I'm working on Tomie dePaola books, but I will do my best to add a few more. I love Thank You Mr. Faulker, and it's one I intended to add at some point anyway. Also have taught With Love from Autumn and Some Birthday in the past. She has so many published! Thanks again!
