For as long as I’ve been a resource creator, I’ve felt the weight of the impossibility of fulfilling so many teacher requests for novel units. As much as I’d like to create a unit for every worthy and important novel or literature circle that teachers tackle, I could never serve you fast enough! So, I got to thinking -- how can I create materials that both help teachers focus on inquiry and can serve a variety of texts all at once?

These units are centered around Essential Questions. Juicy, powerful, curiosity-driving Essential Questions that students will truly and deeply care about.  

These Adventure Packs are not for the print-and-go teacher.

EQ Adventure Packs are designed for the invested, driven teacher who is thirsty for inspiration, direction, and a framework that will extend or reframe the units they already have. These units are perfect for teachers who feel confident in teaching their texts but want to take the learning in the direction of inquiry and stretch the unit to be something beyond the plot of the core text.
