This is a preview of the full 101 question file, which is available to buy here This file contains questions covering chapters one to nine This interactive pdf file, is perfect for your students to work with as they study the Harper Lee classic. This is a very common book for students to read during their high school life, and there is no better way to check their understanding than by having them write short answer to a range of question about what they have read. The book has 31 chapters, so I have divided it into 11 sections. Each section has ten questions to cover chapters in groups of 3, that makes a total of 100 questions.

One file has the answers filled in (or at least suggested answers) for all questions. Enjoy
