FEEDBACK
Allan G Feldt (TpT Seller)
A brrief but insightful review of three literary gems that made me realize the significance and commonality of tales I had read or seen earlier. Succinct summaries of their content plus a clever fill in the blank questionnaire at the end helped to drive home the commonalities and differences among them. Well done and worth far more than the price.

My students and I loved this activity. I used it as homework and then we discussed the next day. It served as an excellent springboard for discussing plagiarism.

Thanks for the positive feedback, Kyle! I remember how crazy things were my first year. I'm sure you will adapt these and add to them each time you teach this novel. Best of luck to you.

I am looking forward to using the word maps with my students. I love the connections to novel elements, with tie-ins to theme, characters, and setting. Thanks!
April 29, 2012
Sara Hathaway (TpT Seller)
Thank you! I feel the tie-ins to theme, character and setting are the most valuable part of these puzzles. I hope the kids will remember the phrases they worked so hard to spell out and will recall them as we explore recurring motifs and themes in the novel.

Does this guide include the other activities that you have place on teacherspayteachers?

Sara Hathaway (TpT Seller)
There may be a small amount of overlap -a few of the questions from this lesson may appear in new forms as essay questions in another item I have for sale - but most lessons are unique and do not contain information found in other downloads. I hope that answers your question.
