Challenging Common Core Language Arts Lessons (Grade 6) is a good book for teachers in any state, even if your state has its own standards and does not follow Common Core State Standards. One of the outstanding aspects of this book is that it takes the lessons and develops hooks to the students' experiences. Mini units involve poetry, short stories, novels, and more. Literacy maps, analysis and comparison worksheets, and rubrics as well as many other resources may be copied for student use. The mini lessons involve works such as Beware the Jabberwock, I Hear America Singing, I, Too, Sing America, The Diary of Anne Frank, A Play, Little House in the Woods, and Roll of Thunder Hear My Cry.
