Description
Get your learners thinking! Our Holes the Novel Study Unit Plan has the activities and quizzes you need to teach a 7-week novel study -- prereading questions, characters, vocabulary, projects, writing, and more. You'll love the "print-and-go" activities in slideshow and .pdf, both fun and rigorous for your learners (204+ pages and slides).
Your learners will have fun with the rigor and creativity of our engaging activities built from best teaching practices. We want to make your lesson plan journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This literature guide includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of fun activities.
Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns the lesson plan to the standards. We've filmed some training videos on (1) how to assemble a Novel Analysis Packet that is unique to the academic needs of your learners and (2) how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.
