Description
Novel study made easy! Contains everything you need with NO PREP for an entire unit on the historical fiction Newbery Medal winning book, Out of the Dust by Karen Hesse (published by Scholastic Inc.). You'll get daily lesson plans, reading lessons, activities, assessments, and more. Depending on your class, this unit will last 2-4 weeks.
This is an important novel, and you and your students will see connections to real-world problems today. The novel is written in verse and takes place in the Dust Bowl during the Great Depression.
This 'all in one unit" includes:

✅A list of lessons, reading assignments, and dates taught/due dates all linked on one convenient slideshow.

✅8 reading entries that are aligned with each section of the book and teach and apply a poetic skill (as the book is written in verse). Entries include lessons found in the story: simile, symbolism, allusion, alliteration, sensory imagery, personification, ode, and S.T.E.A.L. characterization.
✅8 corresponding vocabulary assignments to connect students to the content of the story
✅A test on Google Forms™- just attach to your Google Classroom™; this is a self-correcting test…no grading on your part!)
