Our final novel (or play) literature guide for Level 7-8 is The Power of Change, a unique study guide that gives students the freedom to choose their own classic novel or play and its adaptation to study. Whether it’s Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet and the movie version of West Side Story, the journey from The Wonderful Wizard of Oz to Wicked, or jumping thousands of years forward from The Odyssey to O Brother, Where Art Thou?, this guide challenges middle school students to explore how creative changes breathe new life into timeless stories.
