Summary
How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague
Students will feel like they stepped inside their own cowboy gear as they travel out west with Wallace. Wallace, while on his way to visit his Aunt Fern, is captured by cowboys! Students will engage in activities that provide experiences with asking questions, visualizing, and determining importance. Wallace and his wild imagination make understanding text structure and synthesizing as fun as the cowboy tricks he learns on his adventure.Teach with How I Spent My Summer Vacation by Mark Teague
