This printable product is designed for each student to have a novel study packet to work on and turn into their classroom teacher or teacher-librarian. The novel study includes vocabulary, 2 inquiry-based short research projects, and a media literacy project where students create an advertisement to sell a new candy they create.

• ​Teacher manual and student packet
• ​Materials list
• ​Vocabulary
• 3 Reflective journals and reading response activities
• 2 investigations and mini research units (can be used for science inquiry classes as well)
• Create-a-candy project and designing an advertisement project
• Differentiated assessments for research units
• Rubrics to grade everything
• Extension ideas for more technology integration
• Lesson plans aligned to:
  • National Common Core Standards for ELA,
