Description
About the Novel:
The Family Under the Bridge is a Newbery Honor winning story about the Calcet family—a mother and her three children—who end up living under a bridge on the Seine River. Here, they befriend the carefree Parisian hobo, Armand. When two nosy women appear at their makeshift home, and it appears that the authorities have been summoned, Armand takes the family to live with a community of gypsies. Here, they are befriended and their relationship with the old hobo deepens. After promising the children a new home for Christmas, Armand decides his only option is to seek employment, and he manages to get a job as the caretaker of an apartment building, which offers the family a place to stay. Here, they determine to live as one big family, with Armand serving as the grandfather the children never had.

Excellent! I like the multi-leveled questioning and prompts throughout. This will be used with my higher leveled readers, therefore the questions and prompts which will have them digger deeply while making connections is just what I needed.
This is the first year I have taught using this novel. This packet has been my lifesaver!!! Thank you so much for this comprehensive teaching unit! :)
Awesome! Perfect!!!
