Hi,
Is there an answer key with this resource? Thank you.

Teacher Thrive

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.

Sevasti K.

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.

Teacher Thrive

Hello,
Thank you for reaching out. Unfortunately, we are unable to provide an editable version of this resource because it was created using Adobe Illustrator and InDesign. Also, we are prohibited from providing editable versions of resources that contain commercial graphics.

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!

Teacher Thrive

I was wondering if these have been updated with a suggested answer key?

Teacher Thrive

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.

Ilene Rose Treasures

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!

Teacher Thrive

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.
