This one should have been free. There is an activity described, but there are no extras like rubrics or written directions for students to follow.

Thank you for the resource! This is solid in a pinch and seems that it will really help students understand the meaning of the poem. It does seem a bit heavy on the literal questioning. I plan to use this at first, then write more higher-level Blooms questions to follow.

I love that an answer key is also included. Often times this is omitted. I know that as a teacher I should be able to figure out the answers, but it's nice to not have to.

I must have made a mistake somewhere in uploading the document and the preview. I have now re-uploaded the document that has the second page with the prompts. I'm sorry about all that.

Hi Alex,
I am purchasing your Study guide for Julius Caesar. I am a teacher who is putting together an English 10 program for our home learners. It is in binder format and includes a unit on Julius Caesar. I am wondering about copyright issues. Am I able to use your guide if I credit you for it? Also, does your study guide come with an answer key? Thanks

What I do is view the document in Word using the "zoom" feature. I set the zoom to about 30% size, then do a screen capture of my desktop.
Then I take that screen capture and paste it into a picture editor like Photoshop or even MS Paint.
Then I crop it so that only the document can be seen and finally save it as a gif or jpg.
Doesn't take long at all once you have the hang of it. Couple minutes at most.

I'm a teacher-author also. I liked the way your previews look--the way you can see the whole document, but can't really see it to copy it. How do you convert your files to the .gif format?
