Each lesson is print-ready-to-go with detailed instructions for students to allow you to do less work while teaching the novel. The following activities and assessments are listed in order from pre-reading, to during-reading, and post-reading. **PRE-READING:** 1) INTRODUCE THE NOVEL (VIDEO & ACTIVITY): This introductory activity is a great way to spark student background knowledge and interest in reading the novel. Students will be shown a short video of images related to the novel's setting, theme(s), and plot. They will do a quick write as they view the film, and then use their quick write to create a pre-reading creative reflection. **DURING READING:** 2) UNIT TIMELINE PROJECT: This project encourages student engagement throughout the entire progression of the novel. It includes a guideline with instructions for the students, a graphic organizer for note-taking, and an easy-to-grade rubric for you.

This packet also provides you with two easy-to-grade rubrics. 4) PLOT ENGAGEMENT: READING AND MAKING INFERENCES WORKSHEETS: Your students will make inferences about the plot based on a short section of the novel they are given. Through reading deeply and thinking critically, students will make inferences by answering the questions about his or her section. (Best done early on within the novel). 5) INTEGRATING GRAMMAR: Students will use the novel to review the 8 parts of speech.
