Wayside School Gets A Little Stranger Novel Unit

Posted by theteachingbank on August 10, 2011

This is a custom written literature unit to be used with Wayside School Gets a Little Stranger by Louis Sachar.

This unit is designed to be used with some student/instructor interaction. It can also be revised as an independent study for the student. It is written for the 3-5th grade reading level.

This unit works great in a one-on-one setting for home school or for a teacher to use as a resource in the classroom for a small group or entire class. The unit is designed so that you can start teaching immediately with little to no preparation on your part. Great time saver!

This unit contains:

•Teacher Packet containing detailed daily lesson plans, answer keys, and suggested curriculum connection activities
•Student Packet containing vocabulary activities, comprehension questions, and extension activities that correlate with the book.
•An Assessment Packet that contains a vocabulary quiz, a comprehension quiz in both a short answer and multiple choice format, and a writing assessment.
•Common Core Standards Alignment for Grades 3-5.
•An After the Book Activity Packet that can be used with any book.

I wrote and developed this unit myself. I am a certified teacher in Nebraska. I hold a Bachelor's degree in Elementary Education from Iowa State University and a Master's Degree in Elementary Education from the University of Nebraska-Omaha. In addition to my Masters I have taken graduate courses on teaching of the Gifted and Talented. I have successfully used these activities in the classroom setting many times.
