Description

The Keeping Quilt by Patricia Polacco is a beautiful story of Patricia’s ancestry, and it is the perfect book to begin an author study with. This HUGE comprehension focused bundle in DIGITAL and PDF includes before, during, and after activities to accompany the book, a Patricia Polacco research lapbook about her life and books, and a class book writing extension. If you’re wanting to do an author study, this is the book to begin with! Make planning EASY and theme exploration MEANINGFUL.

HOW THE KEEPING QUILT UNIT IS ORGANIZED:

The unit is set up in a before/during/after format and includes printables for vocabulary, comprehension, and a writing prompt for post reading. There is a (PDF) version and a full color version for use with Google SlidesTM. You can pick and choose the parts you want to use and the order. However, all of my units are organized in a before, during, and after reading format. I typically project the part of the lesson I’m using to demonstrate my expectation and assign either the digital or print version for completion.
