8th Grade Interdisciplinary Unit of Study based on
a novel The Weirdo by Theodore Taylor
Fall, 2005
NC DPI
Middle Grades Division
Math/ Science Section
1
Introduction
Theodore Taylor was born in North Carolina. His experiences growing up around
the Great Dismal Swamp were the inspiration for the setting of The Weirdo. This
story is rich in natural connections to the English/ Language Arts, Math, Science,
Social Studies, and Guidance curriculums. Students will be able to identify with
the characters as they explore the many activities provided in this unit.
The Weirdo 2005 Edition
This unit has been revised from the original NC Department of Publication
version by classroom teachers. Their goals were to ensure a teacher- friendly
document and to design a stand alone, interdisciplinary unit. The novel makes a
wonderful read- aloud. It is the hope of the educators working on this project that
this revised version speaks to your students’ abilities and gifts alike each time it
is used.
