Johnny Tremain: By Esther Forbes, Teaching Unit

This is a classroom guide for teachers who want to help students study a work of quality writing. The unit is built around Esther Forbes's novel about Johnny Tremain, a Boston youth in the years before the American Revolution, and it offers activities that have been tested in real classrooms. Its aim is to deepen students' understanding and appreciation of the book while cutting down the planning time teachers need. The guide is meant to be used as a ready-made set of lessons, with material that can be adapted to different groups of pupils.
