Pros

  • A nice collection of ideas that will help extend and deepen understanding of the novel
  • Assignments and questions are clear and could be used together or separately

Cons

  • The list of ideas is not particularly well-organized; it would be nice if the ideas were separated by type (discussion questions, activities, etc) or difficulty level
