Evolution of Calpurnia Tate Book Study Guide. Vocab, activities, questions!

This is a fantastic book study! The Evolution of Calpurnia Tate by Jacqueline Kelly is rich with challenging vocabulary words, historical events and references, and scientific people, plants, and animals. Set in 1899, Calpurnia Tate is an excellent historical fiction about a sweet 11-year-old growing up in the middle of 6 brothers in Texas.

This 28-page book study guide includes vocabulary words for each chapter, things to look up and learn more about, activities to make the book come alive, and questions that make the book more meaningful.

You will love acting out scenes in the book, starting nature journals, putting on a fair, making the foods Calpurnia ate, and so much more! Doing things people in books do help students remember the book more than just reading it, and is a terrific bonding experience. Everyone will love it!

Originally designed for homeschoolers but easy to do in a school setting as well. Your students will love reading this book, knowing there are fun activities to do each day instead of boring worksheets. Have students bring their school picture for a carte de visite like in chapter 7.

Watch caterpillars turn into butterflies or moths. Set up a candy store with fake pennies. Each chapter has so much you can do to bring it to life and make it a book to remember!

New bonus: pictures of the author's children doing some of the activities to help you visualize how to do them.
