Classroom Considerations

  • You may need to purchase the book referenced in the plan titled All the Way to America: The Story of a Big Italian Family and a Little Shovel, by Dan Yaccarino
  • The plan mentions that teachers should assess their class, but doesn't mention the assessment that is included in the materials tab for this resource
  • The book that the plan is based upon is more appropriate for younger students

Pros

  • Comes with two grammar worksheets, an assessment, and accompanying answer keys

Cons

  • Does not include a clear vocabulary list; you may need to create your own or find one in your textbook
