Here's what Penguinlvr said: So many great ideas! This is my third purchase from you, and again, you do not disappoint. How do you do it? My favorite activity is the literary analysis activity on Napoleon. I love how you seamlessly add this essay assignment into what they are learning as they read. It's not just "Oh, by the way kids, you have a paper due." It made literary analysis writing easy to incorporate with my other lessons. Your guide (as always) covers so many different aspects of the novel. Great job (again)!
Heather L. said: I love Simply Novel. I have purchased several of the Simply Novel lesson plans for different novels that I teach. These are the best resources for high school ELA. They cover listening/speaking, writing, reading literature text, and reading informational the material provided. I will continue to purchase Simply Novel.

Valerie L. said: I used this with my preAP 10th grade students and it went very well. High quality and thoughtfully done. Tons of resources. I really liked how there is a grammar, vocab, and comprehension focus for each chapter. It made it easy to spiral skills thorughout the novel.
Engagement in English said: This is SO helpful for my first year teaching this novel--gives a good sense of when certain topics should/could be covered with the novel. Provides a lot of basic things (chapter questions, quizzes, vocabulary) that teachers would otherwise spend a lot of time making or curating. Thanks!
