WHAT SKILLS ARE INCLUDED IN THE KEEPING QUILT UNIT?

  • schema building (prereading)
  • tier 2 vocabulary activities
  • story impressions
  • cause and effect relationships
  • question task cards and response form for group discussion
  • an 11-page lapbook with grading rubric
  • a class book on family traditions
  • and a researching Ellis Island form. (in Full Color Digital and Black/White PDF)

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.
