Instructional Ideas

  • Provide a list of resources where teens can seek help for the issues they face
  • Create a list of 13 Things You Might Not Know related to one of the novels

Classroom Considerations

  • Provides a list of questions for each novel, not full lesson plans

Pros

  • Includes pictures of book covers and the author
  • Gives opportunities for creative expression

Cons

  • Lacks an answer key or rubric to assess responses
  • Fails to align Common Core standards to each question and provides a generic list of standards instead
