| There are five novels that were selected
for JASON XIII coordination. These novels were suggested by
teachers like you and approved by the JASON Literature
Selection Team. The Internet can be a wonderful source for
locating lesson plans, activities, and resources for novels.
This site is intended to make your planning easier.
Some teachers may ask why they should use novels in their
classroom for instructional purposes. Novels expand
knowledge and can relate to all disciplines, including
history, science, health, family and consumer sciences,
math, and geography. Using novels also taps into
higher-order thinking skills such as analysis, synthesis,
and evaluation via novel message boards and "real-time"
novel chats with authors and other students. Speaking of
novel chats, they are in 6 to 7 week sessions beginning
mid-October. Be sure to register your class to chat in the
Teacher Tool section on TJO!
