3 How to teach the novel

STUDY GUIDES

Many publishers have study guides available on prescribed novels. Although usually aimed at learners, teachers can also learn a great deal from them.









FILM ADAPTATIONS

Use film adaptations of prescribed novels with discretion as they often depart radically from what the novelist intended. There are several versions of films that are useful aids for studying particular novels:

Animal Farm (1954, 1999, 2007)

Lord of the Flies (1963 and 1990)

To Kill a Mockingbird (1962)

Spud (2010)
