Duffy's Jacket Short Story

I love the short story, "Duffy's Jacket" by Bruce Coville. This 3-day unit is designed for 5th-8th graders with roughly 45 minutes each day, and can all be digital to make your life a little easier! Great for distance learning/Google Classroom!

This unit provides a breakdown for teaching Duffy's Jacket for 3 days

1. asks students to identify figurative language and other literary elements

2. a Google Forms quiz is included so you can save time grading
