The best part of novel unit planning is having a plan for the next three to four weeks. It feels liberating to have a unit planned and lessons ready to go.
It’s also fun to get students excited about a topic and a story, it’s the start of something new and it’s exciting.
Except when it isn’t, novel units can also feel overwhelming. Trying to fit all the things into the three to four weeks allocated can feel impossible.
Let’s take the overwhelm and kick it to the curb - this novel unit planning guide will streamline the process and bring back the fun of a novel unit.
- Start with the standards
- Consider which topics from the novel you will explore with your students
