I LOVED this resource. I found it very thorough when going through this book and especially loved the vocabulary. Great strategies for test-taking. - Kelli A.
This unit was exactly what I was looking for. As always, your units are skill-based and thoughtfully planned out. The assignments worked great with my college prep class. - Maori Montessori
Simply Novel continues to provide excellent study guide resources for most of the novels I teach. This was no exception. It was my first time to teach OMM...and it went splendidly! Looking forward to teaching it again this year. - The Contrary Teacher
This is by far the very best item I have ever purchased on TPT. This is a complete guide for any teacher to use and includes a WEALTH of material as well as answers. As a new teacher this has saved me more time and distress than anything else I have purchased on this site and was well worth every penny. Due to the volume of ideas and the alignment to common core standards, I expect this product would be a great value to more experienced teachers, as well. I loved this so much I purchased another Simply Novel product, on The Great Gatsby, from them. I hope more of the novels for high school will be in their product line. - Amy J.
