THE SECRET OF JEANNE BARET Study Guide for ELA and Social Studies

by Helen Strahinich

This guide offers a variety of questions and activities to support teaching of the author's young adult novel, The Secret of Jeanne Baret. Teachers may choose to use all of the materials or to select specific questions or activities that meet their needs and grade requirements. Many cross-curricular activities follow up on topics developed in the novel. With The Secret of Jeanne Baret, these activities provide an engaging introduction to world history, geography, and botany. Middle-school and the beginning of high school mark the optimal time to lay a foundation for advanced learning—and, more important, to awaken students' interest in those areas.
