This Brad Meltzer BUNDLE for "I AM" Biography Series includes literature unit activities for every publication released between 2014 and 2021 and includes 24 TITLES!

Brad Melter has created an incredible series of "I am" biography books for young people. This bundled product includes the first 24 individual literature companions for the "I am" books (with publication dates between 2014 and 2021).

Due to the importance of the messages embedded in these stories, I've created these activities for 2nd-4th graders (as opposed to early primary grades).

These "I am" biography books provide a fabulous segue for discussing how ordinary people can change the world. With a growth mindset component in each product, your students can also discuss how these influential people exhibited a growth mindset. In addition, these books also provide a perfect platform for reviewing grade-level language arts skills.

Please click on the individual products below to see a detailed list of what is included in each unit. Each product does contain a biographical sketch, comprehension questions, skills practice pages, writing prompts, and an additional (and unique) fun activity or craft that coincides with the book.
