Thunder Rolling in the Mountains by Scott O’Dell and Elizabeth Hall is the focus of this Native American Literature novel study for students in special education.

Have you ever wanted to read a novel to your special education students but thought there was no way they would sit and listen? Persevere, it is worth it!!

Thunder Rolling in the Mountains novel study has over 150 pages and is designed for students in special education.

I was always reading a novel to my students, regardless of their learning level. The lesson of learning to sit while someone is talking is an invaluable skill that is worthwhile teaching.

This novel study has various activities accompanying O’Dell’s book, Thunder Rolling in the Mountains.

The materials were designed to allow students with multiple levels of learning to access and engage in lessons learned through listening to this novel.

Students have many opportunities to engage in repeated information as they listen to the story of a brave girl and the struggles of the Nez Perce tribe, who were forced from their home and murdered by soldiers trying to relocate them.

Finally, many of the activities include more than one version, suggestions for differentiation, and options for presentation. There are 1 or more activities (29 different activities!!) to go with every chapter, as your students stay engaged while you read this novel aloud.

There are 2 complete files to go with this unit. One is in color and one is in BW.

There are so many benefits to reading out loud to your students. You will teach them an invaluable skill of learning to sit still while someone else is talking. Your parents will also LOVE you for not only teaching them this skill of sitting but also for exposing them to age-appropriate material. Plus, you never know which students you will touch with each story you read.
