Twelve-year-old Carley has suffered circumstances that force her to leave her mother and enter the world of foster care. Published in 2012, this book is Lynda Mullaly Hunt's first novel…and what an amazing book it is! No wonder that it was awarded the Tassy Walden Award for New Voices in Children's Literature, 2012. The student tasks were created to align with and support ELA Common Core State Standards. Questions and tasks in the workbook are intended to prompt high level thinking and quality discussions. Also, the teacher could use this as a guide for a parent or an aide as they direct a student book club or conduct small group discussions of the book. It is designed for independent work thus allowing students to have directed work while the teacher is working on small group or individual instruction.
The workbook gives students essential practice in constructing written responses. They include vocabulary work, recognizing literary crafts (such as similes, palindromes, metaphors, and oxymorons), examining author’s purpose, recognizing point-of-view, summarizing, explaining one’s thinking, evaluating, demonstrating comprehension, comparing and contrasting. With each assignment are 4 pages of a wide variety of activities that go along with the text. The student workbook divides the text into six reading assignments of about 35-40 pages each.
It includes a 25-page student workbook (or worksheets), an answer key, student vocabulary bookmarks, a list of topics for extended learning, and helpful websites.
