The large amount of foreshadowing at the beginning of the novel, the subplots, setting, and history of the Yelnats family could be extremely tedious to follow for my young adult students. Sachar’s use of foreshadowing as well as the extreme challenge of reading comprehension that the book has to offer are the two main things I would want my students to take away from a reading of Holes. So, I have created this Webquest with links to descriptions about some of the setting, animals, and places the characters encounter along the way to help them solve the many mysteries that the Newberry Award Winning Holes has to offer. Also provided are a link to Louis Sachar’s Wikipedia page, which includes a list of all his novels. Lastly I added a link to an explanation of foreshadowing as a literary device. Hopefully this Webquest will help my students, achieve the learning goals of improvement in reading comprehension, and a fair understanding of foreshadowing.
