I'm looking for the names of publishing companies for novel units to use in a ninth grade English classroom.
Anyone know publishers or sites online to find teaching guides for various novels (Of Mice and Men, Lord of the Flies, etc.)? I'm starting a job at a new school, and my teaching materials are locked up in storage until the end of September.
If you google "lesson plans" "teaching guides" or "unit plans" for the novel titles you'll get a boatload of info. Lots of teachers have their unit plans on websites so you can get assignments, calendars, etc. I use unit plans from enotes.com. They're about $20 but well worth the cost. There's a wealth of information, calendars, quizzes, vocabulary, tests, crossword puzzles, etc.
Good luck with the new job! I taught 9th grade for two years and really dug it...it's a fun age.
