In an effort to utilize supplemental novels as a means of instruction and increasing literacy, it is beneficial for teachers of seventh and eighth grade students to have a uniform novel "enhancement and curriculum guide". This approaches the novel not only from a comprehension standpoint, but one of higher order thinking skills and connecting the learning to specific content standards. Each guide includes a synopsis, websites and enrichment, vocabulary development, comprehension, timeline activity, map activity, understanding two points of view, and linking the novel to current events. It is hoped that studnets will be offerd a choice of novels and these guides will facilitate that choice for the educator.
