Another information-packed, time-saving tool for teachers from the authors of Novels and Plays, this book contains 30 teaching guides for some of the best literature commonly taught in grades 6-12. With initiating activities, chapter-by-chapter discussion questions, writing assignments, and interdisciplinary extensions, these are complete lesson plans. For each book there is also a brief plot summary, a critique, lists of themes and literary concepts for teaching, suggestions for outside reading and vocabulary study, and lists of available print and electronic media resources.
