Here is a unit for gifted primary students designed across the language arts and around a Dr. Seuss theme, weighted in whimsy and creativity.

 

``I like nonsense, it wakes up the brain cells. Fantasy is a
necessary ingredient in living, it's a way of looking at life
through the wrong end of a telescope. Which is what I do, and
that enables you to laugh at life's realities.''
-Dr. Seuss
