Book Plan

The Borrowers Book Plan (Middles, 4-6, 2 Weeks)

Book: The Borrowers by Mary Norton

Shrink down to the height of a pencil and spend two weeks under the kitchen floor with Pod, Homily and Arrietty.

This ten-day Book Plan for grades 4 to 6 gives your child or students a few chapters each day, three original discussion questions and one ready-to-print page. The days keep a steady rhythm of reading, writing, a hands-on investigation, a project and a Friday Show and Tell, and the plan covers all 20 chapters. Kids measure everyday objects and convert them to Borrower size with a ratio, invent a Borrower family named for its hiding place, test how sound travels through a table, compare Borrower scale to doll's house scale, talk about borrowing versus taking, and build a Borrower room in a box from found objects.

Perfect for homeschool families, book clubs, literature circles and math-meets-reading units.
