Rocket Says Clean Up - by Nathan Bryon

A collection of 15 activities designed to accompany a book study on Nathan Bryon’s Rocket Says Clean Up.

This unit is perfect if you are looking to study books which have more representative and culturally diverse main characters. I will be following this unit up soon with another couple of linked units of work on two inspirational women who would be perfect to study for Black History Month: Imani Wilmot (Jamaican female surfer) and a unit of work on MaVynee Betsch (aka The Beach Lady) whose grandfather founded American Beach, and who campaigned tirelessly for conservation efforts.
