Study Questions


Use the following links to see some of the Study Aids and handouts I gave to my students, to help them with the novels we read in various classes. Usually, students had to prepare at least three of these questions alone or in groups, and arrive in class ready to present their ideas. This was their homework over a weekend. Then, during our class discussions I returned to these Study Sheets, and worked through the issues and questions involved. Finally, students could decide that one of these questions was interesting and important enough for them, and used it as a starting point for their papers.
