Some of this plan was useful, but much of it is just not applicable in my situation. I teach in an urban school and have no budget for replicating an island environment (advocated in the plan) and because of weak attendance cannot do multi-day cooperative lessons (key students are missing from day to day.) I found the tests to be mostly recall, although the essay questions were better at rooting out analysis and evaluation thought.

I have used Teachers's Pet Publications before, and was thrilled when I received the Unit Plan for Lord of the Flies. It contains everything a teacher could possibly need to study this book...

This is an above average unit plan. The writer of this unit provides excellant ideas for teaching this novel. Mary B. Collins is obviously a teacher

Very old-school and bare-bones material is here. I defintately wasted $20. I am most interested in dynamic lesson plans and those provided here involve mostly reading in class, i.e, not real lessons. Are we supposed to get kids into the material or bore them to death? The supplimentary material, like vocabulary worksheets, is fairly useful. There is far better things available free on the web.

I haven't had the opportunity to use this CD as yet, however, I plan to use it in the near future. I have looked through it and am impressed with what I have seen. I like the ease of being able to view the information and the ability to print from my computer the lessons that I wish to use. It is similar to the textbook series that my district has recently adopted. The only thing that I would like to see added are the reading standards listed that I am required to use in teaching. This would make it easier when it comes time to put the reading standard being covered that day on the board. The lessons seem appropriate for high school students as well.
