The Call of the Wild Teacher's Manual

The teacher's version of Talent Development Secondary's Discussion Guide to Jack London's classic adventure novel, The Call of the Wild, 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 and extension activities. Glossaries, sample sentences using vocabulary words, and whole-class discussion pointers are also provided. A special reproducible assessment section at the back of the manual includes a review, a literature content evaluation, and a vocabulary test for each section of the novel. 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.
