Journey Teacher's Manual

The teacher’s version of Talent Development Secondary's Discussion Guide to Patricia MacLachlan's poignant novel Journey, this manual begins with a summary of the novel, author bio, and tips for teacher preparation and background-building activities. Each section includes selected vocabulary words, highlights important literary devices and features, provides discussion questions and answers, and suggests literature-related writing, extension activities, and informational text possibilities. Glossaries and whole-class discussion pointers are also provided. A special reproducible assessment section at the back of the manual includes a review and a literature content test for each section of the book. Wide margins for personal notes make it practical and user-friendly. This curriculum, developed at Johns Hopkins University, is used in schools across the country.
