A Note About A Few Of The Many Different Assignments Included:
In the unit project, students work to create goals for themselves and plans by which they could achieve their goals. Also, there are three writing assignments in this unit, each with the purpose of informing, persuading, or expressing personal opinions. The detailed writing assignment sheets guide students through the assignments. The first assignment is to express personal opinions: students tell whether or not they think they are "contenders." The second assignment is to inform: students state their goal(s) and the plans by which their goal(s) will be achieved. The third assignment is to persuade: students write the script for a scene between James and Alfred when Alfred tries to persuade James to become a contender.

These materials are geared for whole class use but are very easily adapted for independent study work, lit circles or book groups, home school use, or tutoring.

If you have never taught this book before, this manual will give you a great foundation of materials on a variety of levels.

If you have taught this book before, you might like to know that many veteran teachers have told us they have found our LitPlan Teacher Pack manuals to be much more thorough and more helpful than other materials they have used.
