Product description

From the author

This is a very engaging, rigorous, and fun book study unit that the students will learn and grow from. There are 10 lessons with 15 rigorous comprehension, vocabulary, and figurative language questions for each. Each lesson covers two chapters as well in this 20 chapter book. After each lesson is finished, there is a 5-point rigorous Exit Quiver Quiz the teacher can administer which equals 10 total quizzes. The quizzes are full of comprehension, context clue vocabulary, figurative language, inferencing, main ideas, tone, themes, and much more. For every four chapters or two lessons there is a rigorous fill-in-the-blank vocabulary test with the ten words from the lessons. There are five 10-point vocabulary tests along with 50 Context Clue Practice Sentence Cards to help with the tests! Great for group activities, too! There is also a WordArt Vocabulary Template to Learn words in a fun, artistic way! At the end of the unit, there is a 25-point multiple choice test as well. There are two writing prompts: a mini-research prompt and a memoir prompt. A 4-Page Summary/Main Idea Activity Packet to help with Writing Summaries and Main Ideas has been added! An Exemplar is included from chapter 2 to help the students!
