9-12 Core Literature

Ready-made, chapter-by-chapter questions for core literature novels and plays are part of Bell High's web site. Mr. Weightman's reader-response questions for thirty-four selections are designed for the teacher who wants to hold students accountable for specific pages of a core-lit. text. His questions do not replace end-of-the novel tests, nor do they contain extensive essay opportunities. Rather, the questions are for basic comprehension. If you don't like reinventing the wheel, however, use some of his materials.

Look below and find the novel or play that interests you. Use the questions and save yourself some time. E-mail him for the answers. Take your dogs for a walk.
