In the book, "The Smart Cookie", written by Jory John and illustrated by Pete Oswald, the Smart Cookie doesn't feel like she measures up to everyone else until she discovers her own strengths and gifts.A dash of creativity and a sprinkle of confidence helps her learn that perfect scores and having all the answers aren’t the only ingredients for intelligence.
This is a content-rich unit that has discussion prompts, comprehension questions, a mini-assessment, strength-focused student pages, a look at Howard Gardner's multiple intelligences, a quote page with text-to-text prompts, word search and extensions, a copy of the Animal School fable coupled with comprehension student pages, asset-based posters and anchor sheets, a mini genius hour introduction with student instructions to get started and an assessment rubric.
