Dana D. said: Amazing!! This is my first year of teaching and this was a life saver. Worth the money, definitely! Everything is so clearly laid out and organized by standards and manageable chapter chunks. THANK YOU!
Warren's Wordsmiths said: This resource is so incredibly helpful. It is so organized and helps me to stay on top of my teaching. I love that it has resources for myself as a teacher as well.
Gillian T. said: This was my first year tackling the novel with students and WOW! This resource is CHOCK FULL of resources---I used the reading quizzes, the pacing guide, and the standards focus for each chunk of reading. The pdf format does take some time to split and merge and create individual files for upload to LMS, but it's worth it. I did find some of the standards focus to rely on more than the assigned chapter chunks, so I am wondering if these should have been one big set of activities vs. individual assignments, and I will be reflecting further on that aspect when the school year is over.

Lucerito S. said: Worth the money! This is my first year teaching juniors and I really did not know where to start since we currently do not have a curriculum map for English III. Anyways, this Simply Novel The Scarlet Letter unit saved my life. The sample agenda, list of summaries, reading guides, list of definitions, are absolutely put together to make this unit flow. The best part to me were the "Standards Focus" guides because this unit allowed me to integrate the standards effectively into the reading of the novel. Let me not forget to mention that there are answer keys which help with grading. Truly a great source! I will be looking to see if they have other units listed.
