The Charlie and the Chocolate Factory unit is a golden ticket for teachers looking for nicely written plans. Elementary and middle schoolers draw their impressions of characters, design and market their own candy creations, and use evidence-based instructional strategies to report on Charlie within the text. The six lessons are an everlasting gobstopper--they never run out of fun material and keep learners engaged.
