Awesome Teaching Tool
I cannot rave enough. There is so much paked into this teaching guide, I could spend a year teaching Animal Farm. However, there is not so much that you and your students feel overwhelmed. I enjoyed not having to create my own materials, worksheets and quizzes, and being able to relax a bit with my unit planned for me. My students enjoyed the activities and worksheets, and many students ...

Finally Something I Can Really USE!
I have taught Romeo and Juliet for three consecutive years now, and have tried every bit of material out there to reach my students. I can finally say I have found THE literature unit for Romeo and Juliet. I have been so pleased with the response from my students, who are actually UNDERSTANDING the play through the numerous activities this guide has. And they love it! I cannot recommend this ...

Really great!
I have looked everywhere for materials to help me teach my 11th graders the novels that are required, but still meet the content standards for Florida. Everything from the vocabulary activities to the post-reading activites are great. I would recommend this guide to all teachers--much better than Teacher Created Materials.

The PERFECT Resource!
After LOVING the Hamlet Literature Guide I bought a while ago, I decided to try Macbeth. Again, I was extremely pleased with the quality of the materials, but also with the fact that Secondary Solutions and author Kristen Bowers actually accomplish what they claim--I really CAN teach the content standards through literature! These guides are perfect for the high school english teacher, but ...

Great resource for teachers.
The Secondary Solutions Literature Guide for The Crucible was great for my classroom. There are great activities to study conflict, irony, and connotation/denotation. There is also a great activity for having your own classroom witch hunt.

Whether you are a new teacher or an experienced pro, you want to have a life. This guide has everything I need to teach Hamlet--and more. Mrs. Bowers has done all the work for me. It begins with an author biography and questions to go ...

The Perfect Resource
This literature guide was recommended to me after I had tried using the Teacher Created Materials version. Let me tell you--making paper dolls and recipes are NOT what my students are being tested on! Once I got this literature guide I threw all my other stuff away--this really has everything you need to teach the entire novel. My kids have always loved this book, but now that they have ...

Powerful Teaching for a Powerful Book
I found this literature guide to be extremely helpful when teaching Brave New World to my Seniors. There are so many complex issues that Ms. Bowers addresses perfectly. I am grateful that there is acutally someone out there that is willing to tackle the issues of the novel so that I may teach it the way I want. Not only does Ms. Bowers understand the complexities, she also integrated these ...

The best I've seen!
This guide is really helpful. The Great Gatsby is such a tough book to teach and I have struggled to teach the novel without good materials. I have made up quizzes and tests for the novel that don't come anywhere close to these. Plus, the vocabulary reinforcement with worksheets throughout that give the students extra practice with test-taking skills is great! I cannot wait to start the year ...

This thing is a Goldmine!
I am so excited about this book! I just bought this from their website, and received mine yesterday. It has lessons for teaching the content standards, which I think is really cool, because most of the books our kids have to read have no decent materials related to them. I have been trying to come up with ideas for teaching the content standards, but now I can do that while I teach them the ...

AWESOME Writing System!
I HAD to comment about this system. I had never heard of it, and was fortunate to see this at the CATE (California Association of Teachers of English) conference in February. I cannot express enough how much this system has. I have used the Schaeffer progam in the past, and had always found it to be a little difficult and complcated for my general ed students. I was looking for something that ...
