Marred by mistakes.......2006-09-10

I am a high school English teacher, and I have used and been pleased with Collins's unit plan for Huck Finn. I bought this one hoping that it would be equally useful. Unfortunately, I found that it contains several mistakes. The true/false quiz for Act I, for example, contains at least two clear errors (One statement says that Abigail is Parris's daughter and another says that Tituba is Proctor's slave, and these are not meant to be false statements). I gave that quiz to my class without previewing it carefully enough, and there were several disputed answers. I had to promise them not to use the quizzes from this source again! I have found mistakes in other places, too, and I was bothered by Collins's biased tone at times. Some of the material still looks useful, but I am dubious of it now.

A teacher's greatest friend.......2002-07-20

Mary Collins has obviously spent time in an English classroom as the teacher. Her study guide questions are right on the mark. In the vocabulary section, her quote choices are almost exactly what I would have choosen. I have used several of Collins' lit plans, and without exception I have been pleased with them. They provide me with material that only needs a tweak to match my teaching style. The biggest problem of using Literature Circles in high school is the time needed to create materials for each novel to be included in the selection list. Mary Collins has solved that with these wonderful LitPlan units.
