Description
Get your learners thinking! Our PRINT AND DIGITAL Fahrenheit 451 Novel Study Unit Plan has the activities and quizzes you need to teach a 7-week memoir study — pre-reading questions, characters, historical context, grammar, and more. You’ll love the “print-and-go” activities in slideshow and .pdf, AND the same fun activities converted and optimized for digital learning (583+ pages, slides, & forms for all your print and digital teaching needs).
⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ And don’t forget the easy-grade Google Forms!
Get your learners enjoying the rigor and creativity of our engaging activities built from best teaching practices and great for American Literature courses. We want to make your lesson plan journey easy, so you can focus on your expertise. This literature guide includes a curriculum map pacing guide that offers our day-by-day suggestion for how to plan out your weeks of fun activities.
Our pedagogy section explains the instructive idea behind the activity, gives ideas for implementation, and aligns the lesson plan 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.
To make your digital experience smooth, we include instructions (w/ screenshots!) of how to download and organize your activities in Google Drive and Microsoft OneDrive. We’ve added easy-grade Google Forms versions of each activity that auto-corrects their responses using a suggested answer key (which you can adjust afterward or modify your answer key) and compiles grades into a spreadsheet with learners’ names and class periods to make things easier for you to grade all in one place (some types of questions aren’t able to auto-grade, though, because of the short-answer format).

WHAT OTHER TEACHERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THIS LITERATURE RESOURCE
♥ Thorough and wonderful! Thank you! There’s so much information that I’m still going through it! Students in previous years seemed somewhat tired of The Diary of Anne Frank unit, but the students this year really actually said they had fun and enjoyed it! Thank you for spicing up my unit! 🙂
♥ WOW! This is phenomenal! Covers a lot of information very effectively. Eye-catching, clear and visually compelling. High-quality. Excellent intro to Anne Frank.
♥ Good resource. Lots of variety – wearing the star of David was a highlight. Thanks for the CC alignment, too.
♥ Thank you for such an informational and interesting resource. It was quite valuable before, during and after our reading of The Diary, and I appreciate the hard work you put in to creating it.
♥ As the last book for us this year in my reading class, this is a great help! While using the PowerPoint to introduce it, my wiggly, giggly, talky 7th period was stunned. I have never had so many questions from my lowest performing class. This is a great overview introduction on WWII to get students interested and engaged. Once again, I love the design, and it’s been a breath of fresh air to get my creative juices going on creating new material as well. Thanks!
