Description
Elizabeth Started All the Trouble by Doreen Rappaport is the perfect book to incorporate in your studies of women’s suffrage. If you don’t own a copy of the book, check your local library or you might even find an online read-aloud of the text with a simple Google search!
Using mentor texts is one of the best ways to maximize your teaching time. You are able to teach multiple skills, subjects, and topics with just one book!
With this unit, you’ll be able to work with students on analyzing primary sources (specifically political cartoons, but also some written documents), identifying supporting reasons and details, writing opinion pieces, and relative pronouns. This unit is the perfect way to integrate social studies with language arts!
WHAT IS INCLUDED IN THIS UNIT?
- a week of plans that teach primary sources, supporting reasons and details, opinion writing, and relative pronouns using the book, Elizabeth Started All the Trouble by Doreen Rappaport (book not included)
- detailed explicit lessons, including teacher samples
- a week-at-a-glance plan
- digitally converted activities in Google Slides and Forms, when applicable
- mentor sentence lesson teaching relative pronouns
- reading lessons to teach about supporting details and primary sources
- writing lessons to teach opinion writing
- primary sources from the early 1900s – images and documents
- printables for skill practice
- samples of all writing activities
- rubric to grade the opinion writing piece
- short assessments
You will notice that the units align in best practices with my other resources, so if you are already using other components like Mentor Sentences, Better Than Basal, or Everything But The Books, they can easily be incorporated into your plans without breaking stride.
In fact, this unit follows the exact same structure as my Everything But The Books resources!

*The mentor sentence lessons I have created are adapted from the ideas of Jeff Anderson. These lessons were born from the routine that worked well in my classroom, and the demos and examples I present are variations of Jeff Anderson’s methods. This is not the only way to “do” mentor sentences in your classroom.*
