Middle school years can be tough. An educator's guide for the works of Lynda Mullaly Hunt introduces readers to two texts that discuss the struggles pre-teens face during middle school. Chapter-by-chapter questions and activities for two different texts, Fish in a Tree and One for the Murphys, help readers navigate the novels.

Instructional Ideas

  • Have writers keep reading journals and select one question from each section to use as a journal prompt to assess understanding
  • Write letters to the author asking questions about the writing process or the books themselves

Classroom Considerations

  • Organizes classroom lesson plans into multiple sections, designed to cover a different part of the novel each day

Pros

  • Includes pre- and post-reading activities
  • Provides a Q&A with the author to help learners discover more about the writing process

Cons

  • Lacks sample answers for the questions in the guide
