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.

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

They exist only as a means to check whether or not students read the assigned pages; therefore, they are 100% plot questions. I use these questions to make sure students are on the same page (literally) and are ready to move beyond plot into analysis during class activities. As a side note, reading check grades are
