Your Entire Unit, Planned Out for You
One of the best parts of this novel study is that you don't have to figure out when to use everything.
The included teacher guide provides a day-by-day suggested schedule for approximately seven weeks of instruction, showing when to read each chapter and when to use the vocabulary, reading questions, quizzes, literary analysis activities, discussions, projects, essay, final test, and movie analysis.
The sample schedule is designed for 90-minute class periods, but the pacing is completely flexible.
Want a longer novel study? Spend more time discussing the reading questions, add supplementary activities, or complete more of the reading in class.
Need to move faster? Assign more reading for homework, reduce the number of assessments, or choose only the activities that work best for your students.
Everything is organized so you can easily adapt the unit to your students, your schedule, and your classroom.
