MAIN STREET by Sinclair Lewis

WHY RELY ON THIS GUY?

As a published writer with a masters in English, I aspire to write the best ELA products on the site. With novels, I first read the text thoroughly, highlighting key passages that are evenly spaced throughout the work. I examine literary criticism and figurative devices afterward. Then I compose an examination that mirrors the author’s tone so each answer seems reasonable to the test taker. I avoid throwaway choices because they are often thoughtless and easy for the unprepared student to avoid. I revise and edit each examination holistically with a keen understanding that many students today rely on book summary sites to get by.

I believe well-prepared students should be rewarded for their work while others should fall somewhere along the top-to-bottom curve. If time has gotten away from you perhaps, and you are looking for a rigorous novel exam, one that saves you much time, this download is for you.

Excellent unit to introduce the concepts of Modernism in literature. Rigorous 45-item multiple-choice examination included with guides and essay tests.
