Helen Lester's wonderfully wacky, Tacky and the Winter Games, is the core text featured in a resource packet that includes a prediction exercise, an activity menu, vocabulary flash cards, and book review worksheet. A great way to cheer on Team Nice Icy Land.

Classroom Considerations

• The lesson requires a classroom copy of Helen Lester's Tacky and the Winter Games
• The "New Book Cover" activity option assumes writers know how to write a summary

Pros

• The templates for the vocabulary cards included the definitions
• Readers are asked to justify their book rating
• The activity menu provides equally weighted options

Cons

• The definitions should be edited to match the number, tense, and part of speech of the vocabulary word
