Any Novel Novel Guide--Australian and New Zealand Literature Study
When I first saw this resource I was so excited! Finally something I could use to do a literature study of Australian and New Zealand novels.
It is such a practical, useful and reasonably priced resource that I was sure you would all want to have one. So, I asked Sheila if we could sell it Downunder and thankfully she agreed.
This resource is aimed at students aged 11-17years old. It is to be done over a four week period. The study is self directed but it also has a teacher's guide and marking tool.
All this for only $16.50
Coming soon Australian and New Zealand novel suggestions.
From the Author
Hi! My name is Sheila Wray Gregoire, and I homeschool my two daughters, 14 and 11. And I love to read!
And I wanted my children to love novels, too. But in my homeschooling we weren't incorporating as many novels as we could because I could never get the study guides in time!
Or sometimes I'd want to read a novel with the girls, but I couldn't find a study guide that was written for it. So we'd skip some of my favourite books.
But that wasn't good enough! And now I've developed a totally new way of studying novels that will save you time, money, and stress!
Whenever I speak at homeschooling conferences, parents ask me, "how can we use more great novels in our curriculum?"
And for a while I was stumped. I, too, was tired of spending hundreds of dollars on novel studies, or looking fruitlessly for studies that just didn't exist. I was tired of ignoring novels because I didn't know what to do them.
But I'm a writer. And I love books. And so I decided to do something about it!.
I Knew There Had to Be a Better Way!
- I was fed up by the cost of curriculum to study novels.
- I was discouraged because I'm not that organized. I wouldn't always know what novels I wanted to study until that week, and then it was too late to order the study guides!
- I was frustrated by the fact that many of my favourite books didn't even have study guides!
- I was worried that my children would work through these study guides for specific books, but still not know how to transfer that knowledge to other novels. They knew how to study one book, but they didn't know how to analyze any other novel.
So I took matters into my own hands and wrote my own study guide that can be used for any novel! It's now available as an e-book download, in .pdf format!

And it really helps students learn how to analyze a novel!
So often, when students use a regular novel study guide (or no novel study guide at all), they do exercises that relate to that book only.
Because this novel guide is generic, we focus on the four main elements of a novel:When they finish the novel study, they'll know more about how a novel is put together. And they'll be able to transfer that knowledge to other books! That's why this novel study guide doesn't replace traditional study guides--it's actually superior!
