On Tuesday, July 28, Quest of the Keys author Scotty Sanders revealed that he is in the final stages of producing a new downloadable classroom instruction guide for educators to use in the 2015/2016 school year. The Eight Character Keys Teacher PDF pack will contain supplemental materials for teachers who use his fantasy book as part of their school curriculum. After the completion of some additional design work, the new resource pack will be available for download on the author's website at the beginning of September 2015.
Quest of the Keys is a fantasy novel for young adults, which follows the young hero Decklen as he unlocks the "Eight Keys of Wisdom" during his journey to defeat an evil slave master. In the new resource pack, Sanders will provide a series of PDF documents for each of the eight keys, featuring both a teacher's guide and student worksheet. The documents will also include suggested classroom instruction, 15 to 20 minute lecture ideas, and either in-class or homework assignments for each section of the book.
Sanders designed the book and supplemental resource pack to encourage self-improvement and leadership development skills in middle and high school readers.
"There is a growing body of empirical research that shows that people who possess certain character strengths do better in life," said author Scotty Sanders. "Smarts matter, but so does character. The mission of Quest of the Keys is to empower the next generation. This new resource for teachers is just another tool to help us accomplish our mission."
Students can also download eight character posters featuring the books protagonists and antagonists at the author's website.
