Icons

The primary icon I used with each unit is relevant to the story. The linked icons have instructions directing you to click on the icon to navigate. At times I used the icon as an image only and did not include navigation instructions.

For The Giver I incorporated and apple icon as an apple is what piqued Jonas's curiosity and caused him to break a rule in his Community.

 

For Holes I used the shovel icon as this story is about digging holes to build a boy's character.

In the book Transall Saga, Mark is transported to another world by a by coming in contact with a strange and elusive blue light.

Chess plays in integral part in The Westing Game and I choose chess pieces as the icon for this book

Novel Unit Plan

To navigate to the individual unit plans, instructions on the Home Page specify whether to click on the image icons or the text links to navigate to the unit plans. Again I used the same icons as described in the above section on Icons. Also, all of the main pages have a buttons on the left hand side that allow you to navigate the site. On the home page, instructions specify to click on the book images or text links to navigate to the individual unit plans.

All of the pages included in the site allow you to navigate and not to stagnate!

Student Worksheets

I have included a Student Worksheet Index for each individual novel that will enable you to link to the worksheets for each section of chapters. There are instructions on this index that will inform you how to reach the worksheets. Each worksheet contains the vocabulary and the discussion questions for each section of chapters. By introducing vocabulary with each section of chapters, students will be given the opportunity to actively participate in Language Arts activities. All worksheets are reproducible and also may be copied to Microsoft Word for any alterations you wish to make.

Student Quizzes

This section is organized in the same manner as the student worksheet section. Again I have provided an index for each novel with instructions that will enable you to navigate to each section of quizzes. Each quiz contains a section on vocabulary usage and a section where the students may demonstrate their written expression skills. All quizzes are reproducible and also may be copied to Microsoft Word for any alterations you wish to make.

Student Activities

I have included activities for each novel that are merely suggestions. I am sure that as you preview each novel and read each with your students, you and your students will have suggestions for other activities. As with the above section, an index with instructions is provided for each novel that will enable you to link to the activities as well as to the appropriative activity rubric (provided there is one). All activities are reproducible and also may be copied to Microsoft Word for any alterations you wish to make.
