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. Then there is one final question for students to consider when they have finished the novel. In this modern world, I believe homework and assignments like this should be done online wherever possible. This is to promote distance learning, along with making offline courses easier to deal with too. You can of course print the book out, and it will work fine too. On purchase you will get a zipped file containing two pdfs, they are identical in that they are pdf files with the questions divided into manageable chunks. One file has the answers filled in (or at least suggested answers) for all questions. I have uploaded the first ten pages of questions covering chapters one to nine as a free preview here Enjoy
