These Katie’s Trunk activities for 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade use Ann Turner’s book to show students a side of the American Revolution they don’t often hear. Katie and her family are Tories just before the war begins, so the story gives a different perspective than the one usually taught.
This unit gives you a mentor sentence lesson, reading and writing activities, and vocabulary practice for one read-aloud, in print and in Google Slides. The book is not included, so check your library or look for an online read-aloud.
Read the book aloud, then use the activities across your reading and writing time:
One good picture book can carry a grammar lesson, reading skills, and a writing prompt at the same time. Students hear the story once and return to it for each skill, so your read-aloud time does more than one job.
