• Assign the exercise for homework or split it up asking learners to complete half in class with partners and half at home

Classroom Considerations

• The answer key is a webpage, but prints out nicely if you desire a hard copy

Pros

• Comes with an answer key; look below each question on the key for the suggested responses and evidence
• Learners must make inferences and locate textual evidence to support their inferences

Cons

• None
