Between Shades of Gray by Ruta Sepetys is a favorite of my 8th graders. This bundle of materials includes 1) a unit design, 2) a small group discussion guide, 3) a small group participation form, 4) a list of daily journal entry topics, 5) a novel analysis essay graphic organizer, 6) a rubric for the novel analysis essay, and 7) a short answer novel exam.
