New Releases by Thomas Rockwell

Hilarious tale, now a major film, in which Billy must somehow eat fifteen worms in fifteen days... Ages 9-11.

Based on the novel by Thomas Rockwell, this Literature Units will supplement the teacher's own ideas, to encourage students read and discuss other books by Thomas Rockwell. This book includes integrated lessons and projects which may be used with a book you are reading with the class or be adapted to stories in your reading series. Ideas are developed to guide students in individualised as well as co-operative learning activities. There are eight useful sections: Pre-reading activities, reading response journals, vocabulary ideas, book report ideas, graphic organisers, multiple intelligences, Bloom's taxonomy activities and culminating activities.

This time the boys plan to use the girls to get back at Billy, who's a bit of a show off.
