Reviewer Comments:

• This resource is a comprehensive unit for teaching Invisible Man. It includes a complete reading guide, assessments, supplemental information about Ralph Ellison and Marcus Garvey, and prereading activities. The questions in this unit are well crafted, probing and designed to foster close reading. They are used to guide discussion, deepen understanding, elicit higher level thinking, and foster connections. The reader is asked to explore complex themes, such as race, identity and invisibility; the reader is also guided to examine symbolism and to analyze quotes from the book.
