This review is from: The Old Man and the Sea : A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD) (CD-ROM)

This CD-ROM seems too simple to be helpful, but only at first. The packaging is plain and the only thing on the CD, besides Adobe Acrobat Reader, is a single PDF file. I scoffed when I saw this.

However, upon opening the file and looking through it, I realized that I had just purchased 118 pages of amazing help. The unit plan includes general as well as specific lesson ideas, a timeline for the unit, variations on each day's plan, and every single handout and test mentioned in the lessons. The CD addresses every aspect of the novel, ranging from the significance of baseball to comparisons that can be made between Hemingway's code hero (Santiago, in this case) and the leading man from Romancing the Stone. Key characters and ideas from the book are covered, as well as multiple levels of vocabulary from the text. This unit is exactly what I needed to get some ideas for activities and themes to cover for my 9th grade class, and it will definitely help any teacher, from middle school on up, figure out how to approach this often difficult or sleep-inducing novella.
