We love a good novel unit

❌ But just teaching the novel isn’t enough anymore.

✅ Our students need more than character names and plot summaries.

✅ They need real thinking, deeper questions, and meaningful connections to the standards.

 
 

This mini workshop will show you how to use your novels and short stories as anchor texts—so you can dive deeper, not just skim the surface.
Think scuba diving, not snorkeling.
