This review is from: The Chocolate War: A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD) (CD-ROM)

I ordered this unit plan hoping it would give me some useful ideas for teaching this book. However, there are many noticeable errors. In addition, it does not quite cover the book to a satisfactory level. I had my ninth graders read the book, but the questions and activities in the unit plan were below the level of my students. However, there are some good suggestions that can be altered to fit your class, and it is nice to have tests pre-done. Although with the number of errors, I've had to go through everything with a fine-tooth comb and retype segments.

Most teachers should know how to present this material without any help. Unfortunately, the help that is provided in this manual really is no help. One almost wonders if the author truly has any educational background or experience.
