    Sherry Schwarcz

    Sherry Schwarcz presently lives in Austria with her diplomat husband. She holds a BS in Secondary Education from UNLV and a MA English from CSUH. For over 18 years, Sherry taught teens in the United States and Germany. She presently teaches online while raising two rare Taigan sighthounds when she isn't writing.

Intrigued by the secular and Christian definitions of confession, witness, and testify, Sherry has written a teaching guide to accompany the novel complete with vocabulary, discussion topics and final projects. She has also compiled a 40-day Bible study based on the leading Bible passages at the beginning of each chapter.

      About the Author

      Introduction:

      I wrote this novel guide to accompany SACRIFICE. As a former middle school teacher with over 18 years experience, I couldn’t help but look at my work with an English teacher’s eyes. Whether teaching in a home school situation or with through whole class instruction, this guide has suggestions for literary instructions.

      Themes: Bullying, Acceptance/Fitting In, Spiritual Journeys, self-sacrifice, grace, testimony

      Literary Devices: Point of view, theme, characterization

      Pre-reading Discussion:

      Teaching Suggestions: Review the story of Samson and Delilah. Note the feats and flaws of both characters. Keep a list of hanging on the wall as you read this story. Try and find parallels between this story and Megan’s.

      Reading Suggestions

      Reading in Small Groups—Have students take turns reading sections at a time.

      Reading Whole Class— The story contains a lot of dialogue,
