There´s is a boy in girls' bathroom

"Give me a dollar or I'll spit on you." That's Bradley Chalker for you. He's the oldest bully in the fifth grade. He tells outrageous lies. He is rude to his teachers and refuses to do his homework. No one likes him - except Carla, the new school counselor. She knows that Bradley could change, if he weren't afraid to try

We are going to read the novel "There´s a boy in the girls' bathroom" by Louis Sachar together in class.

We will discuss the book in pairs, in groups (book talks) and in the whole class.

When we have read the whole book you are going to write a final written assignment on the book.

The assessment on this unit will be based on reading comprehension, active participation in class and in book talks, your reading journal and a final written assignment at the end of this unit.

You find the activity sheet on Teams.
