Having the guides aligned to the common core has been wonderful. The questions and activities are making students work with higher level questioning instead of "how does that make you feel?" Great product

Amazing Resource for New Teacher

Thanks to this literature guide, I was able to fully enjoy reading this novel with my 9th graders. They got so much out of it, including new vocabulary and academic vocabulary that they truly learned, not just memorized for quizzes. These lit guides save my life. I have purchased 5 of them now!

This is a novel I have taught before as an independent study, but am now faced with presenting it to large classes of freshmen. I am always satisfied with the comprehensive amount of material provided in Secondary Solutions literature guides. I love the non-fiction background readings and activities focused on literary elements. I feel I can hit the ground running with plenty of options for teaching this novel. Now I can focus on teaching -- not typing up worksheets! The option to download PDF format is especially helpful for projecting class work on my Smart Board and uploading to my school's on-line calendar for students.
