Thought I would share this link http://www.goodyearbooks.com/contributorinfo.cfm?ContribID=79 These books are going for $6. a piece; Classic Middle School Literature: Mystery Study Units and Classic Middle School Literature: Adventure Study Units.
The adventure series uses Call of the Wild and 4 short stories by; Saki, Kipling, O. Henry, and Sir Aurthur Conan Doyle. The mystery series uses The Westing Game and 4 short stories by; Jacobs, Edwards, Dickens, and Poe. There are sample pages at http://www.christianbook.com/Christian/Books/search?author=Nancy%20Roberts%20Garrity&detailed_search=1&action=Search
However I have both books in hand and there is quite a bit more than what is shown at CBD. I am impress by how it covers literary elements and the samples at CBD left the best out. The work sheets for literary element require at least a sentence to answer the question. There are black line drawings to help teach some lit terms like Oxymoron which is great for v/s kids. All work sheets are are reproducible and have teachers notes and for $6. are a steal imho. I found all of the short stories on line for free so the only expense well be the novels.
Since Listening Lit is not in our budget this year I feel like I found a gold mine and thought I would share.
Blessings,
Rebecca
