Intended for language arts teachers of the upper elementary grades, this guide suggests vocabulary and discussion questions for teaching novels. The questions are on an inferential level of interpretation, rather than literal, and address such topics as style, technique, and plot development. Novels for which questions are provided are: (1) "White Mountains" (John Christopher); (2) "A Day No Pigs Would Die" (Robert Newton Peck); and (3) "The 21 Balloons" (William Pene duBois). Also included is a list of children's books and their suggested readability level. (SRT)
