Instructional Ideas

  • Pick and choose your favorites to use or adapt for your unit, or use them all in the order they are presented in
  • Use these materials and add in a few collaborative or hands-on activities into the mix

Classroom Considerations

  • There are several pages that focus on what the resource calls different intelligence categorizations; you may also know these as multiple intelligences
  • While the resource starts out by saying it's a unit, what is included here is all the materials to go with a unit (no lesson plans are provided)

Pros

  • Comes with several pages that focus on language and vocabulary; these require pupils to compare Charlie's usage to standard usage
  • Combines the study of a literary text with grammar concepts in a way that makes sense
  • Provides answer keys for all worksheets and the included assessment
  • Requires learners to compare and contrast, write creatively and persuasively, demonstrate comprehension of the text, and more

Cons

  • The worksheet calls Flowers for Algernon realistic fiction, but it is actually science fiction
  • On the first vocabulary page, the word shrew is repeated for no apparent reason
