Story Summary:
Anne is a sweet, imaginative, and charismatic young orphan girl who is unexpectedly adopted by a family in Green
Gables. The story follows Anne as she experiences the pains and joys of becoming part of a family. And her life
growing up in the remote Canadian village of Avonlea.
This accompanying unit study is meant to be used with the Classic
Starts Anne of Green Gables version as retold from the Lucy Maud Montgomery original. The Classic Start versions are
find them a little easier for younger readers, but you could certainly use this unit study with the original version
if you have an older student. The lapbook chapters will correlate with the Classic Starts edition, but the concepts
are the same, so you should be able to complete the units using any version you choose.

What ages are these units for?
I normally recommend my literature units for elementary level readers grades 1-5. You can assign them out
individually to your student so they read on their own, then complete the mini-book assignment for each chapter. There
are writing assignments for each chapter as your students answer comprehension questions from the reading. So you’ll
just want to make sure they’re comfortable writing.
Or you can read it together as a group if you have younger readers, then have them complete the mini-book assignments
when you’re done with each chapter.
How long does the literature unit take?
That really depends on your child’s reading speed, and how many chapters there are in the book! And how fast your
child reads through the chapters as well.
Each one varies in length, and you can easily modify these units to fit your schedule. So for example, you can assign
one chapter per day plus the associated mini-book assignments, or you can have them do 2-3/week. It’s totally up to
you, your schedule, and your student.
What’s included in the Unit Study?
Each unit includes everything you need to complete the Anne of Green Gables lapbook with the exception of the book
itself and the file folders.
The download includes a teacher’s manual with the daily reading assignments, along with the comprehension questions
and answers for each chapter. This makes it much easier for you to help your students even if you haven’t read the
book yourself!
There is also one mini-book for each chapter in the book. Inside your student will answer a comprehension question
that relates directly to the chapter they’ve just read. Some assignments include vocabulary words.
Extras for older students:
This unit includes also 5 reports that your students can complete. If you have older readers, have them do these
reports to make the unit a bit more challenging. If you have younger readers, you might prefer to ask the questions
verbally so they aren’t having to write a report.
The reports include:
- Story Facts (Setting, Main Plot, Main Characters)
- Protagonist vs. Antagonist
- Prediction Sheet
- My Book Report
- Book vs. Movie
- Storyboard timeline
As you read through the book, each chapter has a mini-book with comprehension questions for your student to complete.
This unit has 25 mini-books including a vocabulary mini-book full of terms to learn throughout the story.
Then on the backside of the lapbook, I added a pocket to the backside where you can store the reports and story
timeline.
