Quill's Curriculum Team has partnered with Fishtank Learning to create Reading for Evidence and Language Skills activities that support the Literature Hub. The Literature Hub is home to curriculum-aligned activities for Fishtank ELA 7th and 8th grade (with 6th grade coming soon), as well as Novel-Based Activity Packs that support commonly taught works of literature — including All American Boys, Animal Farm, Night, Persepolis, The House on Mango Street, Romeo & Juliet, the poetry of Langston Hughes, and Uprising.
Any teacher can assign these activities, whether or not they use the Fishtank ELA curriculum.
