Teaching tips & learning objectives

Learning objectives

Students describe the personality and role of each of the novel's nine major characters.
Students summarize the plot events of each of the novel's eight parts in sequence.
Students write an extended personal response connecting a novel theme (kindness, bullying, or being an outsider) to their own experience.

Teaching tips

Assign the character and setting grids as reading unfolds rather than after finishing the book, since most characters and settings appear gradually across the eight parts.
Use the eight part-summary boxes as a running reading log, filling one in after finishing each of the novel's eight narrated sections.
Choose one or two of the five essay prompts per class rather than assigning all five, since each calls for an extended written response.

Skills covered

Character analysis — students describe personality, traits and role for each of 9 major characters.
Setting identification — students identify and describe 6 key locations from the novel.
Sequential summarization — students summarize each of the novel's 8 narrated parts in the boxes provided.

Good to know

Questions teachers ask about this resource
