Adaptability:

These activities can be seamlessly incorporated into an educator's lesson plans for any setting—be it whole group, small group or even as homework assignments—catering uniquely to each student's academic capabilities, and learning preferences.

Aims & Tasks:
  • To improve students' capabilities in pinpointing story elements.
  • To provide tools that assist in comparing and contrasting storylines.
  • To offer chances for practicing key skills such as prediction-making and sequencing.

In addition, the resource tasks go beyond text memorization and move towards critical thinking regarding underlying themes within The Wednesday Surprise. Students are also encouraged toward deeper engagement with opportunities provided for making textual connections with multiple visual organizers.

No Inclusion of Original Book!
