4.0 out of 5 stars A Difficult Topic Made Easy, February 13, 2001

By	Monica Beane (Sutton, WV USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Devil's Arithmetic: A Unit Plan (Litplans on CD) (CD-ROM)

When I read the novel, The Devil's Arithmetic, by Jane Yolen, I was moved. I thought and thought about what approach I wanted to take when I introduced it to my 8th grade students. This teacher "tool" simplified my fears and made teaching the novel much easier and more significant to my students. The step by step guide is excellent for beginner teachers as well as those who have taught the novel before. It gives insight to the Holocaust and examples of bringing difficult situations to a middle school level. I would recommend it to any language arts or history teacher who wishes to use this novel in the classroom and be successful in doing it.

2.0 out of 5 stars Disappointing, January 5, 2009

By	N. A. Horan (New Hampshire) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The packet consists of mainly comprehension questions for each chapter. Not muc creative thought went into the production of this guide.

4.0 out of 5 stars Study guide review, August 11, 2008

By	T. Snedden "SilverAquarius" (Altadena, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

When I first ordered I thought I orderd the hard copy.
Please read carefully if you wish to order the Unit Plan in book form. After receiving it though I have the PDF file and can print to make qizes, tests. Pretty good study guide to creat your own assessments or use theres, versatile.
Follows both the book and DVD movie very well.
