Fortunately/Unfortunately
 

if you don't know this book, you need to read it! It is awesome. I use it to review cause and effect with my 6th graders. We all create a page...

Fortunately!
 

Yes, I have used it with Title I (3rd grade) for many years. After reading, I pass out a graphic organizer with the starting phrase for each page, so students fill it out to write their own. Then I pass out paper with two lines at the bottom and the rest blank for a drawing. We combine them into books. Some years they are tribute books for their teachers. Great book!

Which one is it?
 

I went on Amazon to buy the book but both titles are available:

Fortunately, Unfortunately by Michael Foreman
Fortunately by Remy Charlip

They seem to be similar to each other. I don't know which one to buy.

Thanks in advance for your reply.

the original
 

Fortunately is the name of the book....
Sorry, I always call it the wrong thing because I use if for fortunately/unfortunately activity. :o

Fortunately
 

The author is Remy Charlip for the one I use, dated from the 60s.

And would you believe that I have my copy from the 60's when my teacher read it to me? Great book!! I haven't used it for awhile. Thanks for the reminder.

I am a 1st year...
 

who would love to use this book with my kiddos. Any suggestions or templates you use would be appreciated!! :)

I don't use any templates. I read the book to my kids and totally turn them loose to create any page they want. I often offer extra credit if they want to make additional pages. :)

2 other books
 

I also like That's Good, That's Bad by Margery Cuyler and Suddenly by Colin McNaughten. Both of those books are similar to Fortunately/Unfortunately. Fun books the kids definitely enjoy!

Amazon
 

I just bought the book Unfortunately for under $3 on Amazon!!! :)

I use it in first grade. The kids come up with some cute fortunately/unfortunately stories.
