Journeys 4th Grade Lesson 26: Girl Loved Spiders Supplements w/ GOOGLE Classroom

This supplemental pack is aligned to the Journeys 2011/2012, 2014, & 2017 curriculum for 4th grade. Upon opening the zip file, simply select the lesson that matches the publication year of your curriculum. (The only difference between the publication years are the vocabulary words.)

This Journeys Grade 4 supplemental pack is created to supplement Unit 6, Lesson 26 (The Girl Who Loved Spiders). The reading responses, activities, and interactive notebook pages focus on the Reading Literature and Language sections of the curriculum.

ONLINE LEARNING: This Journeys pack now includes GOOGLE slides for online learning, compatible with GOOGLE Classroom. The link to the remote learning pages are on the second page of the resource.

PAPER & PENCIL LEARNING: This Journeys pack was originally designed as paper and pencil practice pages and interactive notebook pages. It can still be printed and used in this way!

These pages were designed to be engaging to students, yet rigorous. The fonts are interesting but easy to read, interactive notebook pages are included, and students are given opportunities to color and cut & paste. Students must have access to the text as they work, as many pages require text evidence.

Students love these interactive pages! Don't worry if you do not use Interactive Notebooks in your classroom. The interactive pages in this lesson can be glued onto notebook paper or construction paper. You can even staple a "notebook" of lined paper for them to use with their Journeys lessons! They'll love this new way of demonstrating their learning.
