Description

St. Patrick’s Day in the Morning by Eve Bunting is a fun tale about keeping up with the big kids and celebrating St. Patrick’s Day. This unit is builds on the rich vocabulary and depth of characters. It works well for modeling characterization, author’s craft, story events and retelling, and using text evidence for questioning. The main character is perfect for story writing too.

The unit is set up in a before/during/after format, and teachers can pick and choose which best match their standards.
