I just finished teaching "The Sign of the Beaver" and used this guide along with the reading. This guide is quite helpful. It's broken down in chapter groups and has quizes that are nicely written. My students are currently working on the end of the book projects. They are having a blast. Well written and very easy to use. If your going to teach "The Sign of the Beaver" in your classroom you need this guide before you start!

My class has done a novel study of this book every year for the past five years. It goes along really well with our Alabama History chapter on the indians of Alabama. It gives us an almost firsthand "look" at early indian life. It also teaches friendship and is great when doing a multicultural theme

This guide is a great resource for teaching a unit on Sign of the Beaver. All of the guides in this series are GREAT!!

As a member of the Penobscot Tribe who has lived on Indian Island for 37 years, and a teacher as well, I would recomend this book only if you are teaching sterotypes and non-native perception. One must keep in mind that this book is "Fiction". Unfortunatly, it's perceived and seems to be taught as "Non-fiction" - too bad.
