This classic "modern fantasy" book is a gem for early middle schoolers. Actually it is hard for me to classify anything written in 1975 as "classic" since I was born that year... "Classic" sounds synonymous with "antique" - UGH! Anyway, I digress... I found several fantastic resources online for lesson plans and/or literature units.
*SIDE NOTE* My favorite teaching method involves using literature to teach every aspect of language arts. If I could, I would completely remove all textbooks and study language in use, not in theory.
So here are some great online resources for Tuck Everlasting:
Tuck Everlasting - Project-based literature unit
Glencoe Literature Resource for Tuck Everlasting - includes author background, activities for pre-reading and post-reading, and worksheet-based lessons (which I always love to have just in case I have to use a substitute teacher)
Post-Reading Activities - some great ideas for a range of learning styles
3 Student Activities - including a science lesson and a creative writing lesson
Scholastic Pre-Reading Activities for Tuck Everlasting
Every child should read this book. Every adult should re-read this book. Yes, it is that good.

Let's start at the very beginning...
I have been hesitant to enter the world of blogging for years... What could I possibly have to say that anyone would want to read?? BUT I finally decided to dive in. Why the heck not?! At the very least, this will be helpful for me. And maybe (just maybe...) someone else will be able to gain something from this too. I am really good at sharing - I have two sisters. So I'm starting by sharing research into children's literature units with FREE resources. I like free...
