How do you get the answers
Hi,
Is there an answer key with this resource? Thank you.
Thanks for reaching out! The questions are designed to be answered in multiple and even conflicting ways, so providing suggested answers would take a lot of time and nearly triple the price.
Hello,
Upon purchasing, would I be able to have access to this in Word or Docs so that students can type directly on document? Thank you for your time.
Hello,

Does it come with answers?

I have a student doing an independent study on this novel; what kind of assessments are included. Since he'll be reading it alone, I need to confirm that he's read and understood the text.
Thank you!

I was wondering if these have been updated with a suggested answer key?
Hello! No I won't be adding suggested answers to these. The questions are designed to be answered in multiple and even conflicting ways, so providing suggested answers would take a lot of time and nearly triple the price.
I purchased the Charlotte Doyle Depth and Complexity Companion. I'm interested in making "Study guide" cards out of the questions. May I have or purchase a set of questions typed out without the template? Love Love Love the packet!
Thank you! The only format I have this in is with the graphic organizer. I didn't type these out first and then place them in the graphic organizer, if that's what you're asking.
