These are very good quizzes. There is a mix of multiple choice, character matching, quotations, and chronology in the various quizzes. The time saved in creating your own set of quizzes is well worth the $10.

No key. I appreciate it's hard to add stuff in after the fact, but maybe could you add (type) one page at the end with something simple like 1. x; 2. x, 3. x.... ?
Thank you, Debbie.

Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Dear Margaret,
I checked my description and I did note that the test is for an abridged version. Apologies for no answer key. This is something I am working on for many of my products that were Scantron keys that I do not have a Word friendly version for yet.
I don't know how but I could try to give you a refund if you would like.
Merry Christmas,
Lindsay

A total waste of money! I have been teaching for a long time, and I have never before been this dissatified with a Teachers Pay Teachers product. This product is worth $2.00 at the most! It includes a writing prompt or assignment/activity idea for each chapter. There are approximately 25 pages, each with a few lines of writing - most of each page is blank. This teacher should be ashamed to sell such a product for this amount of money. Does he know what teachers are paid? Please allow my purchase to be his one and ony! I WILL NEVER purchase from this teacher again, and I suggest you follow in my footsteps!

Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Dear SueCharbonnet,
I am sorry you feel this way. I spent a lot of time creating these activities and trying to make a required book relevant to my students. I think if you take the time to complete each activity yourself along with the students, you will find a good amount of introspection and analysis within. Perhaps you have some concrete suggestions to go along with your harsh evaluation. I do know what teachers are paid and I know how much precious time and thought went into creating a complete set of meaningful activities for this book.
Thank you,
Lindsay

two pages of VERY brief notes with little explanation. Not worth $2, in my opinion.
August 10, 2012
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Cheri,
I'm sorry this product disappointed you. I did include a very specific description of exactly what the notes include and this is the most helpful and basic information I can offer to someone without religious eduction themselves who has to teach Genesis in a public school setting. If you would like, I can take your information and provide a refund through snail mail which I'm happy to do.
Thanks for giving me a chance,
Lindsay

This is really great, but for the price I expected a key. Even though I know the answers, having the typed version ready to put on the Smartboard would have been nice. This is an excellent product though. Thanks!

I loved this project, as did my students. (Well, they might not have LOVED it, but they didn't complain as much as usual!) I have to modify in the future to clarify that "clip art" is not acceptable. I was hoping to get more current events types of pictures rather than generic Google images. I will definitely use this again next year!

I purchased the Part I test for the novel Great Expectations. Is there any way you can provide an answer key? When I purchased the text , I just assumed there would be one.
December 9, 2012
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Capella50,
Sorry I didn't make that clear for you. That test was designed for Scantron and I have not had time to translate the Scantron key into a Word document or to scan it legibly. Apologies. I just realized that you perhaps purchased the free chapters 1-13 oral questions. I made that free since I didn't have a key written out at the time. I hope that explains. I do have ambitions of having answer keys to all of my products some day.

Why don't you re-write a key to sell it?
September 7, 2012
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Hi,
I am currently working toward having keys for all of my products. I try to keep the prices low if they don't have a key because I know that can be a time saver.
Thanks for your encouragement,
Lindsay

llisa1 re: Lord of the Flies Unit Assessment Packet
Any chance I can get an answer key? For $10.00 it really should have been included. I'm confused as to why so many sellers do not provide answer keys for their buyers. The reason we're purchasing is because we do not have the time to do it ourselves. I'm sure you have the answers, so it would just be helpful to others to include it. Thanks. My e-mail is greenwoodlisa1@yahoo.com.
March 4, 2012
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
I totally understand where you're coming from. I always created my keys as I taught the first session so they were all handwritten and I haven't transcribed them yet. I don't even have all my products listed yet! I did a little work today on your purchase and will send you the first few chapters right now. Thanks for understanding and for purchasing. All the Best, Lindsay

Marynell Owens (TpT Seller) re: Edith Hamilton's Mythology Eight Brief Love Stories Guided Reading
I bought the Mythology Eight Brief Love Stories. I see that at the time you posted, you did not have a key. I honestly did not notice that at time of purchase. So I'm hoping that there might be a key now. I'm teaching two new preps this semester and love all the help I can get.
February 10, 2012
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Hello Owensm,
Apologies for the lack of answer key on this one. I do not have it now though this is something I am working to improve. I wish you luck with your new preps and suggest for this particular topic that you may very quickly learn the basic plots and info from SparkNotes....however much I hate to say it! Desperate times call for...you know.

Terry Montelibano re: Hamlet Act by Act Review Charts
What do you have the students do with the Hamlet Charts? Do they fill only the setting and the speaker of the quotes? For those of us who do not know Hamlet that well, is there an answer key for the quotes?
April 6, 2010
Mrs. Wy (TpT Seller)
Each chart has three columns and as many rows as there are scenes in the act. For example, when viewing/reading Act I scene i, students would determine the setting, explain my summary of the major action in brief, then label the quotations with the speaker. This way they can look back easily and recall the where, what, who questions without leafing through the play. My quizzes correspond exactly to these charts. I do not have answer keys yet, sorry. But, the quotations I picked are fairly straightforward and usually have context/character clues.
