Students are also given ample opportunity for extended writing. Included in each assignment are a variety of tasks that reinforce vocabulary and comprehension as well as such skills as: understanding figurative language (similes, metaphors, onomatopoeia, hyperbole, and personification), summarizing, explaining, describing, foreshadowing, predicting, point-of-view, author’s purpose, comparing and contrasting. The student pages divide the 261-page text into six reading assignments of 40-45 pages each. Except for the cover, the booklet appears in black and white taking into account tight school budgets and the high cost of printing in color. The pages can also serve as a guideline for classroom discussion and further lessons as well. The student work is designed to be done independently and mini lessons are included where students may need more information. Also included is an answer key, student vocabulary bookmarks, optional culminating activities, lists of vocabulary words for the teacher’s use, and a listing of the Common Core Standards (CCSS) supported by the student activities.įor those teachers who need or prefer to use this packet digitally, it can be exported to an Easel digital product by selecting that option on your My Purchases page.

This is a ready-to-use, custom created, independent work packet for students in grades 5-7 who are reading the 2013 novel, RUMP, by Liesl Shurtliff.
