I was eager to use many items in this unit; but upon close reading find much of it too hokey and juvenile to use in my Sophomore English class. Come on...the first writing assignment is a 'home fire escape plan' and map! And, a bulletin board idea is "fire safety." My 1st grader just completed these tasks in her class! Reading assignments/timelines are WAY too much and not at all realistic for busy high school students, and the 'create a world' project seems like a waste of valuable instruction time. Vocabulary lists, quizzes, and tests might be helpful. I think I had just as good of a unit gathered from other teachers, Cliff Notes, Sparknotes, etc. - I wish I wouldn't have paid money for this unit.
