Novels and Plays : Thirty Creative Teaching Guides for Grades 6-12 - v. 1 (2 Rev ed)

This terrific planning tool will save you loads of time and energy!

The book has teaching guides to 30 novels and plays commonly taught in grades 6-12, covering many of the titles from Candles and Mirrors (Libraries Unlimited) and 10 new titles.

Lesson plans include a brief plot summary, a critique, lists of themes and literary concepts for teaching, suggestions for outside reading and vocabulary study, and updated lists of available print and media resources.

They also provide initiating activities, chapter-by-chapter discussion questions, writing assignments, interdisciplinary extensions, and updated media resources (including Internet listings).

Although teaching guides to literary works are widely available, most cover only one title.

This is the only book available that provides such a wide array of comprehensive teaching guides in a single volume.
