Hello everyone. I will be starting the novel Holes with my very low seventh grade inclusion English class. I absolutely love this book and since I have convinced them they are going to love it too, I need to come through with some awesome lesson ideas and activities to go with it. This particular group does not always get along, but with the right lessons I am finding myself actually keeping their attention! I took over this class in the middle of the year, and it took the last two months of being with them to get them where they are now. I am super excited about how far this class has already come. We are just finishing up publishing a class newspaper which is coming out great for them!! So, pretty please pass along any lesson or project ideas you may have that go with the novel Holes. Thank you all so much!!

When you get to the chapter that describes the lizards, you can have them draw and color what they think the lizards look like. They must use the information and details presented in the chapter. You are checking how well they recall details and they won't even know it! I grade these pictures for accuracy ( I even count all the spots).
