TEACHING SHILOH

Shiloh provides rich opportunities for students to explore character, conflict, theme, point of view, empathy, responsibility, choices, and moral decision-making.

As students follow Marty and Shiloh's story, they can think critically about difficult choices and consider how characters' decisions affect themselves and others.

The novel also creates natural opportunities for students to practice important reading skills such as:

• Making inferences
• Using text evidence
• Analyzing characters
• Identifying theme
• Understanding conflict
• Making predictions
• Summarizing
• Making text-to-self and text-to-world connections
• Supporting written responses with evidence
