Pathways Reading Program Unit
Twenty and Ten!
by Claire Huchet Bishop
This unit plan is written for the book Twenty and Ten! by Claire Huchet Bishop. The book has been selected as a fourth grade theme
book in the Pathways Reading Program under the category Social Issues & Culture/ Social Science/Current Events. The book follows
the plight of ten Jewish children in the midst of World War II as they find refuge with twenty French children at a parochial school in
the mountains of France. This book highlights not only the elements and effects of war, but the courage it takes to stand for what’s
right.
The unit plan (pages 3-6) should be the first page.
The vocabulary map (page 7) is handed out each Monday for center time and to take home to study.
The all vocab defined (page 8) is a teacher resource. Alternatively, the teacher can hand out the vocab for the week to the students
in center time.
Each Monday, the teacher should print out the vocab vertical banners (pages 10-40), attach them and hang them on the theme
bulletin board near the center.
The unit quizzes (pages 41-51) are each Friday.
The letter to a soldier (page 52) picture is the prompt for week 4a.
The 3d map (page 53) picture is an example for week 4b.
