My Side of the Mountain - Literature Kit Gr. 5-6 Description:

An engaging and thoughtful teaching resource primarily designed for students at grade levels five and six, specializing in the subjects of Language Arts and Literature. This comprehensive kit is a perfect accompaniment to the novel "My Side of the Mountain" as it caters to all aspects of literary exploration.

Educator or Homeschooler benefits:

This insightful material offers thought-provoking lessons focusing on themes such as solo living, self-discovery, survival techniques, human interaction with nature, and forging friendships in unlikely spaces. The instruction preparation labor gets reduced due to organized quizzes tailored for varied skill levels that learners can engage with individually or collaboratively during group activities.

Creative features:

• Incorporation of an option for learners to choose their animal companion aligns seamlessly with Sam Gribley's bond with Frightful—stimulating empathy development while fostering storytelling skills.
• A nature-oriented focus that motivates students not just towards reading comprehension but also triggers research into vitamins based on Sam’s deficiency in Vitamin C—an extension activity enhancing scientific acuity from a nutrition angle.
• Prediction exercises through multiple-choice questions facilitate knowledge application scenarios encouraging critical thinking skills. Students can conceptually visualize real-life situations based on their reflection upon Sam's solo journey—an adolescent boy craving open space from his packed city life despite unanticipated challenges along his way.

• Crosswords and word searches not only promote fun vocabulary building but also serve as assignment elements or time-fillers for early task finishers.

Usability flexibility:

This resource easily adapts to whole group sessions, small collaborative groups, or individual homework assignments.
