The Scarlet Letter: Teaching Guides

The Scarlet Letter Literature Teaching Units

A traditional approach to teaching literature to students who are at grade level. Includes academic objectives, background information, a chapter-by-chapter study guide with questions, a multiple-choice and essay test, and vocabulary.

The Scarlet Letter Advanced Placement Literature Teaching Units

Similar to Teaching Units, but these units prepare students for the AP Literature and Composition exam. Study guide questions require deeper analysis, and the multiple-choice and essay questions are structured just like questions found on the exam.

The Scarlet Letter Activity Packs

Dozens of fun and educational activities help students learn about specific literary techniques and understand more about the book they're reading. Your students will write poems, newspaper articles, letters, and alternate endings; they'll also work together in groups, research background information, and much more.

The Scarlet Letter Multiple Critical Perspectives

Teach basic literary theory to your students and open their minds to analyzing literature in new ways. Each guide contains activities that help students examine a work using three of these six literary approaches: Feminist theory, Formalism, Marxist theory, Mythological / Archetypal theory, New Historicism, and Psychoanalytic / Freudian theory.

The Scarlet Letter Response Journals

Some students need to make a personal connection to what they're reading—if a book doesn't speak to them, they won't put effort into reading it. Response Journals help them make that connection with dozens of writing prompts that encourage your students to connect plot events, characters, and themes.

The Scarlet Letter Levels of Understanding

Each Prestwick House Levels of Understanding guide allows you to take Bloom’s taxonomy out of the theoretical realm and put it into full practice in your classroom, as well as guaranteeing that each and every title you teach will get your students another step closer to their goal of college and career readiness.
