Each text guide contains background information and a historical background of the text and author, activities to do in class with students, a running sheet of each chapter/section/scene, a perspective on the text, text analysis, character outlines, discussion of issues and themes in the text, notes on language and style, close reading of passages/scenes, activities and essay topics. These in-depth analytical text guides help prepare students for exams, tests, essay writing and text analysis.
