The "O'Brien Teaching Guides" have been developed to facilitate an in-depth study of some of O'Brien's novels. Offering a range of extension work, with many suggestions for oral and written activities, these guides have been written by experienced teachers who have, for many years, used these novels as their class reading material. This collection consists of guides for eight novels: "Brian Boru", "Under the Hawthorn Tree", "Cherokee", "The Moon King", "Benny & Babe", "No Peace for Amelia", "Lockie & Dadge", and "Wildflower Girl". Themes that appear in each novel are listed at the beginning of each guide and each novel has been divided into units with brief summaries, discussion points and suggestions listed for each unit. Oral language activity is at the core of the guide and the suggestions should facilitate discussion and debate on each book and on the universal themes explored.
