The detailed chapter summaries are excellent resources for becoming familiar with the story when time is limited or for refreshing memory when using the novel from year to year.
The series of objective tests check for basic story comprehension. The questions, which cover the novel as chapter-by-chapter quizzes and as a whole book test, are written to draw attention to plot sequence, cause and effect, character traits and motivations, story clues, and implied meaning. Students will need to read the materials carefully and thoroughly for FACTUAL content in order to score well on these quizzes. Awareness of the FACTS is the targeted goal. The questions do not require story interpretation. Their purpose is to help students build a strong foundation for progression to the higher level thinking skills. These pages can also be used as class discussion guilds, small-group or independent reading guides, homework, and conferencing tools.
Answer keys are included. Download the free preview pages for a closer look.

TEACHING EXPERIENCE
Immediately after graduating from Lenoir Rhyne College in 1965 with a degree in high school business education, I touched ground and taxied into a self-contained elementary classroom filled to the brim with 38 eighth graders. Not the place I had planned to spend the next thirty years, but unwittingly, I landed where I belonged! Most of my thirty years in education were spent living happily in the delightful, chaotic, but always interesting world of sixth, seventh, and eight graders. For three of those years I served as a facilitator for gifted education in twelve elementary schools, where I worked with fourth, fifth, and sixth graders and dozens of teachers. During the last phase of my career, I traveled to schools throughout western North Carolina and presented workshops based on a program for teaching composition skills that I authored and used in my classroom. In 1997, after retiring from the classroom, I founded Taking Grades Publishing Company and began a second career writing teaching materials for middle grade language arts teachers. The company has enjoyed steady growth and can now claim customers in all fifty states, several Canadian provinces, and even Taiwan! Joining the TeachersPayTeachers team in November 2008 was the beginning of my third career in education. Once a teacher. Always a teacher!
