Betwixters Workbook for

Teachers & Parents

This workbook contains lesson plans and activities that teachers and parents can use to engage children as they read, Betwixters Once Upon a Time. These companion materials are meant to draw out discussions regarding complicated subjects, emotions and concepts triggering imagination, hope, and resiliency.  Lessons are centered around discussions to teach and practice communicating with others and fostering community instead of competition. These materials may be adapted to meet individual needs.
