This Teacher’s Guide for a Grade 11 or 12 English course of study will cater to a wide variety of teaching styles and approaches so that an educator can realize the many possibilities that The Book of Negroes (HarperCollins Canada, 2007) has to offer. Specific expectations are that students will develop critical-thinking skills that challenge their values and beliefs, explore historical links to the novel, understand an author’s motivation to write, and develop reflective skills so that they can connect to literature on many levels, including in relation to their own lives.
