Designed for teachers of gifted and talented students, this teaching
supplement helps students of history learn through structured questions and
activities. This unit features
• key concepts, themes, and explorations in the writer’s craft;
• guided questions based on generalizations (factual, conceptual, and
philosophical);
• instructional activities;
• a performance task planner; and more.
This concept-based unit helps take students to a higher academic
level. As students move beyond the story through the concepts presented
in the unit, they will discover a connection to real-world problems,
past and present. In addition, this supplement serves as a model to help
teachers develop units for other Mr. Barrington novels in the series.
