Instructional Ideas

• Add to a study guide for learners to reference throughout the unit
• Have one discussion question on the board when class members walk in, either to discuss as a class or as a writing prompt before reading
• Use in a reading assessment during relevant parts of the story
• Form literature circles so that readers may discuss what they have read and where they need clarification

Classroom Considerations

• Resource prompts instructors to find copies of the book without cover images, which may be easier said than done

Pros

• A solid way to engage learners throughout the reading
• Discussion questions are engaging and varied, covering all levels of Bloom's Taxonomy

Cons

• None
