The Cruisers: A Vocabulary and Discussion Guide

A vocabulary and discussion guide to pair with the novel, “The Cruisers” by Walter Dean Myers. The vocabulary guide teaches phonetic pronunciation, word meanings, and parts of speech. The discussion guide is designed to prompt dialogue between the reader and a peer, teacher, or parent/adult. The guide includes wonderful pre-reading activities full of independent research, cultural associations and appreciations, pop culture, and historical background.

Suited for independent readers grades 5-8. (The physical book is not written by me neither does it come with this discussion guide).
