The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles

This Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles by Julie Edwards novel unit is a low prep resource with lots of student options. The novel is a fabulous fantasy book for students. Readers design their own Whangdoodleland animal using the animals in the story as a model (referring to the text). The Last of the Really Great Whangdoodles is a creative fantasy story, but it lends itself to deeper discussion topics about science and our ability to believe.
