The activities attached to each document can be printed and used in connection with a small or whole group literature unit of study with Racing the Rope. For each chapter I have included a suggested list of activities that ask children to use a variety of skills across the curriculum and that will help them reflect, draw conclusions, learn author craft, use a literature response journal, conduct research, think about new words, ask questions, visualize, make connections etc.

 

Use the activities as you wish. Don’t forget to recommend Racing the Rope to your fellow colleagues as a possible literature unit in their fifth/sixth grade classroom.
