We offer one comprehensive book (or CD), providing lessons for four novels: Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, The Catcher in the Rye, One flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, and The Great Gatsby.

Lessons can be easily adapted to other novels and your own teaching style. Each lesson is sharpened by practical tips on classroom management.

Each lesson has a strong motivation that captures and concentrates students’ attention. Techniques include use of close reading, discussion, debate, writing process, group interaction, role playing and drama.
