The Scarlet Letter COMPLETE Annotations
Fight Against SPARKNOTES!
Like most teachers, early on in my career I gave reading quizzes as a means of holding students accountable for their reading assignments. What I found, of course, was that students would turn to Sparknotes and other websites, looking for chapter summaries rather than actually completing their reading assignments. As a result, my quizzes had one of two unintended consequences. I wound up either writing a quiz that encouraged students to take shortcuts, or I made a quiz

The Odyssey Graphic Novel by Gareth Hinds Worksheets for Entire Book
I created these worksheets for Gareth Hinds's graphic novel version of The Odyssey. Please do not purchase this if you are teaching from a different version.
I divided the graphic novel into eleven roughly equal reading sections and created a worksheet (and answer key) for each. I procured the graphic novels for a class with many students that struggle with reading, so these worksheets may not be appropriate for a higher-level class. Refer to the preview for an idea of my work.
