This is a study guide on The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls. It contains 47 comprehension questions and 12 analysis questions. It also contains an answer key with page #'s (I used the Scribner paperback version). The comprehension questions would be good to check to see if students had completed and understood the reading assignment. The analysis questions would be good for discussion or seminar.

Hello.
I am hoping you can help me. What grade do you use The Glass Castle with? I was hoping to incorporate this novel into my 9th grade curriculum, but the principal said no. I have a chance to defend my choice, so any feedback regarding student reaction/ engagement would be helpful.
Thanks!

Hi, I think the novel would work beautifully with 9th graders. I have never taught this novel with a class; it was the summer reading assignment for our entire school (One book, one school) about four summers ago, so every student from the rising 9th graders to the seniors read the book and then did activities and assignments based on it in their classes. The students really liked it because it is funny and shocking and tragic, but is a wonderful message about what one can overcome if they are determined and work hard. It makes the affluent students realize how lucky they are and can make the impoverished students feel better about their situation and/or affirms for them that their feelings are normal and gives them hope that they too can overcome difficult childhood situations. There are so many age appropriate topics for 9th graders in this novel. I want to know why the principal said no. Has he/she read the book? Good luck- I hope this helped!

Hi Sabrina,
Would you be willing to provide a preview of this study guide? I'm trying to determine between two products which would work best for my students. Are the comprehension questions short answer (requiring about 3 word responses)? Thank you!
