This track will target sixth grade students. Students will be required to read the novel Maniac Magee. They will be required to use context clues to figure out unkown words. Students will then have to complete character maps of Maniac Magee. Students will work in groups of four or five to complete story maps. At the conclusion of this unit, students will view the video Huck Finn and make comparison and contrast papers. These type of activities will increase the state Terra-Nova scores due to increased student abilities. This will also benefit the students when they are required to take the Gateway Test.
