Edith Wharton's Ethan Frome is the focus of an 11-page packet that includes three lesson plans, three worksheets, and a homework assignment. The first lesson introduces readers to the historical context of the novel. At the same time, the second has readers collect evidence about one of the themes in Ethan Frome in a dialectic journal.  The final lesson has scholars completing a worksheet they may use for an in-class, timed essay on Wharton's novel.
