Classical literature does not have to be a foreign study; Progeny Press provides guided reading with their Great Expectations Study Guide. Some students may be daunted by Dickens, but the aid of this guide lays out this literature selection wonderfully. Sections cover 4-7 chapters at a time. Vocabulary work starts each section with words and sentences taken directly from chapters.

The dedicated Dig Deeper questions form scriptural connections with the literature and spiritual formation. Literary skills include point of view, mood, foreshadowing, fallacy, exposition, imagery, story elements, allusion, and more. Prereading Activities provide context to what you will read. Post reading, final projects and Essay Prompts help readers make further connections to the text and showcase what they have learned. A catered list of age-appropriate Further Resources is provided. Answers are in the back on perforated pages for easy removal. 94 pages, softcover. ~Rebecca

Description
Publisher's Description of Great Expectations Study Guide | Progeny Press
This classic book is the sometimes complicated, always fanciful and entertaining story of Pip from small boy to adult. Living with his sister, Mrs. Joe, and her husband the blacksmith, Joe Gargery, Pip is looking forward to the day when he can be apprenticed to Joe. But a chance encounter with an escaped convict in a church graveyard and a demand from the strange spinster, Miss Havisham, for a young boy to come play at her estate, changes Pip's life forever.
Pip has his world turned upside down when Estella, Miss Havisham's protégé, sneers at Pip's commoner habits and appearance, and Pip becomes ashamed of who and what he is. Then an anonymous benefactor contacts Pip through the services of the lawyer, Mr. Jaggers, and promises to make a gentleman out of him and pay his way through life.
Years later, the grown man, Pip, has developed "Great Expectations" about Estella, Miss Havisham, wealth, and his future life. However, everyone has their own expectations and nothing is as it appears. Charles Dickens fills this classic with memorable characters and sharp insights into the human soul.

Many of the classics are found in this collection and would provide a great opportunity (or incentive) for your students to read the book and watch the movie! The recommended goal is for students to read 4-6 guides during the school year. Answers are in the back and can be easily removed. Each guide includes Notes to the Instructor, mini author biographies, and background information.
