I have divided up the novel into four equal parts and have provided a quick "who, what, when, where" matching quiz assessment for readers. I like to do this when students are completing a self-directed novel study for me to ensure they are reading the piece and to see their basic understanding. This novel I have used for both my grade eight class and grade seven class, but can easily see it fit in with some grade nine readers as well.

Challenger Deep By Neal Shusterman is my new obsession! A beautiful piece about mental illness, family and being a teenager. I have created 42 questions that hopefully push students to consider the important metaphors, symbols and connections between fantasy and reality. I would also add the great questions included in the back of the novel as they were very helpful.

About the store

Experience

I have been teaching for 8 years in the middle/junior high school level. I have primarily taught English Language Arts but I have also taught social studies.

Teaching style

I like students to be able to push themselves, create challenges and feel good about the work they are doing. Although I do use themed units for novel studies, I like to do a poetry and short story unit that is structured and has students completing similar assignments. I like to give students choice so that they will own their own learning and try to exceed their expectations.

My own education history

I have a degree in English with a minor in business and Asian Studies as well as a teaching degree.
