Teaching Resources
A package of teaching resources was created in early 2006 by Brendan McKinnon. The resources are aimed at giving students from the age of 12 to 16 a more thorough understanding of Hover Car Racer and help them to improve their skills in the areas of English, Geography and History.
Included in the resources are:
- A flow chart of the suggested study pattern
- A parts of speech example sheet
- An interview with Matthew Reilly from Teenreads that includes a sheet of comprehension questions based on the interview
- Location study resources - studies of some famous locations in the world as mentioned in Hover Car Racer
- Open and closed comprehension questions and activities for every chapter in Hover Car Racer (answer sheets included)
- Project sheets - projects for students to undertake after completing the reading of the novel
- Assessment for question work and project work
The resource package is available at: http://www.panmacmillan.com.au/ in the resources section.

Famous quotes containing the words teaching and/or resources:
“For good teaching rests neither in accumulating a shelfful of knowledge nor in developing a repertoire of skills. In the end, good teaching lies in a willingness to attend and care for what happens in our students, ourselves, and the space between us. Good teaching is a certain kind of stance, I think. It is a stance of receptivity, of attunement, of listening.”
—Laurent A. Daloz (20th century)
“How many inner resources one needs to tolerate a life of leisure without fatigue”
—Natalie Clifford Barney (1876–1972)
