How to use

This resource can be used as supplemental teacher material or as a primary basis for literature study to:

  • draw students into a text with pre-reading questions and warm-up prompts, maintain engagement and promote analysis with free-writing or discussion, and assess knowledge and comprehension with quizzes.
  • ensure deeper understanding and enjoyment of the literature with activities for all learning types.
  • stretch students’ critical thinking and writing skills with differentiated essay topics.

Note to Teachers: To support lesson-planning, connections to the work’s primary themes are noted throughout this resource (moral ambiguity, friendship, secrets, coming of age).
