New curriculum unit
Today is going to be an amazing day, and here's why:
This CCSS-aligned
teaching packet contains activities for Dear Evan Hansen, by Val Emmich, Steven
Levenson, Benj Pasek, and Justin Paul. This includes chapter check questions,
vocabulary, a character chart and several writing prompts and activities. Several
short responses could also be used as essay prompts. Answer keys are included.
Vocabulary has three separate matching quizzes to attempt to limit cheating and
encourage proficiency and mastery; there are 45 vocabulary words total. The
chapter check questions are divided into segments with lengths varying as
chapters vary, and are perfect for homework, comprehension checks, independent
study, make-up work, or quizzes. There are end-of-novel essay/discussion
questions as well. Everyone needs to read this book.
