Description
I’ve taught Freak the Mighty for years, and it’s one of the rare novels where I don’t have to talk my class into caring. The chapters are short, the pace is fast, and my students quickly form early opinions about Max and Kevin (both right and wrong.) It’s also one of my go-to picks for September and October, when I want a book that hooks kids fast at the start of the year.
Resource Features:
- Chapter-by-chapter lesson plans for every reading assignment
- 24 pages of reader response questions for before, during, and after reading
- Character analysis activities that dig into what makes Max and Kevin’s friendship work
- Context clue word work covering about 30 words pulled straight from the text
- Story map template
- Figurative language worksheets
- Post-reading journal writing prompts
- End-of-novel project with character cards
- Answer key included for every activity
