What educators are saying

I love that I can have a variety of prompts as well as provide my own prompts for students. The line spacing is a bit wide, but I think that helps some of my students be a bit less intimidated by writing.

Feedback from other teachers about these literary analysis prompts:

Excellent resource that saved me a lot of time. The questions were thought-provoking and my students' responses reflected that.

Showing versus telling. My students struggle to grasp this concept. This particular activity was used after I have spent some time working on analysis of authorial choices and I am very satisfied with it. Thank you for another way to try and explain to my students how best they can look to texts and analyze.

This was such a helpful resource for my freshman!
