This novel pack complements the study of the novel Rebecca, by Dauphne Du Maurier. I used this with grade 9 level ESL (adapted book), but it could easily be adapted for higher levels. Included in the pack: 2 sentence combining/writing activities, 1 "Love Hurts" advice column activity (involves 4 character dilemnas- after writing the letters students act as the advice columnist and respond to another student's letter), a summary versus plot explanation sheet, and 2 reading comprehension quizzes.

Two common sentence errors are shown and explained. These handouts include sentence fragment and run-on sentence examples using information from the novel Rebecca, by Dauphne Du Maurier. Students identify the errors in the sentences and learn how to fix them. The sample sentences can be EASILY ADAPTED to FIT ANY UNIT OR NOVEL. Sentence Fragments and Run on Sentences Rebecca by M.
