This close read will require that students, stanza by stanza, analyze and interact with this historical poem finding figurative language devices and answering text-dependent questions. This is a word document and can accommodate a variety of lesson ideas. Teach it straight through and it can tak

Mo Willems Author Study (2014) UPDATED
I created this Author Study slowly over the years. I make adjustments to it each year depending on what book Mo Willems has written/which ones I have. My class ALWAYS loves doing this. It is great for those times before Spring Break or the last month of school when you need something... but aren't sure what! We use this in conjunction with fiction writing a lot of times.

Book Report Outline
This is a Book Report outline for students to complete to help them organize their thinking before writing a book report. It highlights characters (with details about each), setting, plot points, best parts of the book, any criticisms they have about the book, notes they took while reading, and a recommendation part.
