I LOVE this book, and I was so excited to teach it! I purchased this guide because I needed a place to start. It was ok, but honestly, I'm not crazy about it. The quizzes and vocabulary are pretty good, but I was not at all impressed with the activities. I really don't know that I'll be able to use any of them . . . I don't know. It might be worth the purchase for the quizzes, but personally I wouldn't recommend spending the money if you are looking mainly for new activity ideas.

I bought this book to help with my seventh grade literature class. There are activities and questions to guide their reading. It has been a very helpful book.

I have used this teaching guide along with the book and found it to be extremely helpful in presentong my lessons to the students.The authors of the teachers guide have done a wonderful job and hope they will do more.

The teaching guide for this book is tremendous and should be bought as a companion for the regular book.

I loved this literature guide and will buy more (as I have done). As a home school parent I find using these units is a great tool in making sure my child understands what is being read and has fun activities to go along with what they are reading. Don't know how they would work in a classroom setting but for one on one teaching this was a great addition to our reading curriculum.

This guide was a godsend to me. I recently moved up to 8th grade after teaching younger students for several years and I had THE GIVER as my first trade book. THis teachers guide helped me tremedously. Great format and easy to use.

I enjoyed this book.It gives us a look on how it could be if we're not careful.I found it to be easy to follow the story from beginning to end.

This was a wonderful book. If you like fictional books this book is for you. It's based on everyone being the exact same. It is very unrealistic and not true. I would have given it a five but it was kind of hard to go along. If you didn't pay close attention to what u were reading you'd be lost. Other than that it was a good all around book. Go read it!

In my opinion this was a BAD book to read. At first I was very interested in it, but towards the end it faded out. I think it could have had a better ending! It was hard to follow along. Over all I wouldn't read this book unless I had to. DON'T READ IT!

That was one BAD book! It didn't talk about anything really. It jumped around too much. Hard to follow. Don't read it!
