Curriculum Connections: (These standards are simply the ones I found right off as some I may use for a lesson with the book listed.  I in no way am trying to state these are the only standards that fit this book.)

CCSS

RI.6.1

W.6.4

Reading:

This would be a book I would use as a Read Aloud book.  I would spend the first part of the lesson reading from the book, asking questions, identifying words students didn’t know, etc.  Then for the second half of the lesson I would have the students so writing on what we have read. http://www.bookrags.com/lessonplan/mockingjay/

 The writing could be in any form including drawings that the student prefers, but it will have to relay a clear picture of comprehension for the student.  I would then use these findings in my guided reading groups.

 

Writing and Speaking:

          There would be a writing assignment after each reading.  The students will either reflect on the reading, or they will address a specific topic depending on if a mini-lesson was given on the particular day.

Additional uses:

This book could also be used in science in many ways.
