My First Novel Study Is DONE!

One of my goals for this summer was to finalize and prepare my novel study units for sale on TPT.  After a solid week of working pretty darn hard for summer, my Seedfolks novel study is complete!  I am really proud of this one!  I absolutely LOVE this novel.  It is the perfect way to kick off the school year as it tackles such issues as appreciating and overcoming diversity, making a difference in one's community, and learning to work together for a greater good.  The story takes place in a trash-filled lot in inner city Cleveland, where a young girl plants lima beans to honor her deceased father.  An old woman notices the young girl and immediately assumes she is up to no good.  She enlists the help of a neighbor to find out what the young girl had done and discovers the small garden.  Inspired by her project, other neighbors begin to plant in the garden as well.  They soon learn to put aside their individual prejudices and work together to turn the once garbage-filled wasteland into a community garden that fosters a new sense of family.  My novel study unit includes a 40-page reader's response journal with a variety of activities to engage the reader and have them dig deep beyond the text to find greater meaning in the story.  My unit also includes whole class activities to carry out throughout the novel, a science lab wherein students plant their own lima beans and compare the growth under natural and artificial light, a comprehension test and a modified version for SpEd students.  I had NO idea how to price this item, as this was my first one.  I started with $8.50 but I am more than willing to adjust that!  Please message me with advice!  I have 8 more novel study units to work on so stay tuned!  If you are interested in Seedfolks, please visit my TPT store here:
