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.
