What We Carry: Volume 1 (Curriculum Companion)

$9.99

This companion guide is the study and discussion handbook built to accompany What We Carry, Volume One. It is structured as twelve units, one per story, each containing a Core Truth restated for teaching purposes, a Memory Word, three discussion questions ordered “from surface to deep,” a reflective writing activity, and a “Carry Forward” prompt that connects the story to the reader's own life during the week between sessions.

Designed for classrooms, homeschools, and one-on-one coaching or counseling settings, the guide is explicit about pacing: one unit per week for a twelve-week classroom sequence, or two units per day for an intensive retreat or workshop format. A closing “Educator & Coach Notes” section gives grade-differentiated guidance (simplified activities for grades 4-5; an added synthesis question for grades 7-8 and up) plus specific direction for coaching contexts and bulk/school licensing.

The companion is explicitly nonfiction - a teaching and reflection tool - built entirely from the fictional content of Volume One, and does not introduce material beyond what the novel already establishes.
