Quiver0f10 Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 Has anyone used this to help guide you through some lit books with your highschoolers? I need something that is going to hold MY hand as we read through some these books. Thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris in VA Posted March 22, 2008 Share Posted March 22, 2008 I just sold mine--didn't really find it all that helpful--there's just not enough information for each book. It's a nice overview, but not indepth. Have you thought of Omnibus? And, don't discount SparkNotes or CliffNotes--I've been surprise how much these have--including little quizzes on content, descriptions of symbols and imagery, and of course summaries of each chapter. I think it's SN that also have questions you can assign for essays (but no answers). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I forgot @ Omnibus; it might be a good fit for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
