Good to know
Questions teachers ask about this resource
How does the essay section build on the character and chapter work earlier in the guide?
The six essay prompts ask students to draw directly on the character profiles and chapter summaries completed earlier — for example, the prompt on Emma's imagination and self-deception references her relationships with Harriet Smith, Mr. Elton, and Frank Churchill, all of whom appear in the character-profile section.
What should I supply for the Emma study?
Provide Jane Austen’s novel and extra paper for extended essays. The response packet supplies notes and prompts, with no completed answer key.
