A Hidden Treasure
I recently discovered these titles by Secondary Solutions. These are certainly the best teaching tool for literature that I have ever found. I tried TCR and others, and was dissappointed overall. Rowley has done an excellent job capturing the story, but also integrating those standards that I am required to teach my 8th graders. I recommend this guide to all teachers, whether new teachers or ...

Great for Middle School
Most literature guides are geared more for the elementary classroom. This guide is ideal for most middle schoolers. I like that there are focuses on literature elements and plot structure. I wish there were more guides like this for YA novels appropriate for middle-schoolers.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

Great Help
I teach 9th grade at a public high school in California. I am really pleased with the information and activities available in this guide. It really is helpful and challenging, unlike those others that call themselves "challenging" units. I would definitely recommend this guide for teachers, and would buy again.
