Description
Your learners will enjoy the rigor and creativity of our engaging activities built from best teaching practices. We want to make your lesson planning journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This novel study includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of lessons. Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns it to the standards. We’ve filmed some training videos on (1) how to assemble a Novel Analysis Packet that is unique to the academic needs of your learners and (2) how to effectively use our Quickwrite writing prompts.

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ This is such a comprehensive novel study! My 6th graders are so engaged in the story, activities, and the topics presented in the Quick Writes, they don’t realize the rigorous learning they’re doing! Thank you for high quality products, as always!
♥ This is a great product. The quick-writes alone are priceless; they kept students engaged and connected to the text. The activities target important literary concepts creatively, and they brought out the best in my fifth graders.
♥ Once again I am blown away. It may be a little unfair that most of my novel studies are by you guys. I really like that you have given an answer key to your plot and character conflict activities. This has allowed me to make stations and the kids manipulate the cards to figure out where they would go. You would think that the kids would get it spot on but many still have trouble. This just makes the stations idea run smoother.
♥ Well put-together resource. I told another teacher to purchase this resource. It is a must.
♥ Love love love this resource!! I love Hatchet and all the accompanying activities to do during a novel study. This was a super comprehensive resource and packs a LOT into it.
♥ This is an excellent source for this book!!!! I am very excited to start reading this story with my students and I don’t have to worry about creating anything for it. You have thought of everything! Thank you for all that you have done for this book!!!!
♥ I love how this is organized. It’s perfect for my independent lit circle!
♥ So excited to start this unit. I was a little nervous to spend so much on a unit but I am so happy that I did. Everything look amazing! Worth every penny!!
