In November by Cynthia Rylant Activities in Digital and PDF, descriptive writing

In November by Cynthia Rylant is a wonderful book to use during fall. This interactive unit, in PDF and Digital for Google Slides TM, will give you LOTS of options. The description used within In November is just wonderful for so many reading skills.

HOW TEACHERS CAN USE THIS IN NOVEMBER UNIT:

These reading activities will get your students thinking about the meaning of fall and how our seasons change. The poetic language works well for visualizing and provides a writing model for word choice. I suggest using these activities for mentor text lessons, in guided reading groups with the book, for partner work, or in your centers. The bundle is designed in a before, during, after format for close reading.
