Comprehensive Unit

This was a great comprehensive resource with a lot of great materials to go along with the book. I did not use all of it, as my students are older, but was able to pull some of it for my week long unit.

Loved using these activities to accompany the book. We looked at a news article after reading and they thought it was so cool that it was a true story.
