Description

This Freak the Mighty novel study unit includes all the activities you will need for your class study! Middle School students will love this unit while enhancing their literacy and writing skills AND enjoying a few creative projects along the way!

Freak the Mighty is one of my all-time favorite books to share with students. Not only is it a great story told through the fantastic voice of the character Max, but there are numerous literary skills that can be taught while reading the novel. This unit is perfect for middle school students whether in a traditional classroom or via distance learning!

12 Lesson Plans are included with each lesson is broken down with step-by-step instructions!

This complete Freak the Mighty Novel unit plan goes beyond basic comprehension questions and helps students to understand important literary terms and practice important and writing reading skills and strategies in the context of Freak the Mighty.

This is my go-to book to convince reluctant readers that reading can be FUN!
