Incorporating a novel to read in an academic class helps students to connect "real life" to what they are currently learning. The reading of the novel helps to generate questions based on new and previous knowledge. The students will break into groups to each read and summarize a chapter. Then all groups will share their key finding contained within the novel.
As an extension piece I will have student groups select one example they find interesting to complete more research on. They will create a poster to be displayed for their grade level peers to educate them on something they should be doing or not doing and why.
