Thematic Units from Teacher Created Materials are literature based, cross-curricular, and ready to use. They provide activities, many of them hands-on, for all areas of the curriculum, including math, science, language arts, social studies, physical education, art, and music. Each book offers two or more literature-based units and lesson plans plus cross-curricular activities and worksheets, a culminating activity, management ideas, and a bibliography. The books covered in this unit (that will need to be purchased or borrowed)are: Cloudy With A Chance of Meatballs by Judi Barrett and The Cloud Book by Tomie dePaola. Complete and comprehensive, these reproducible units are designed with student interest and teacher usability in mind. The planning is complete.
