FICTION STUDENT HANDBOOK

Use this fiction booklet with the most important information that students should know when studying short stories and novels. During the unit when students inevitably begin asking you questions like, "What is foreshadowing again?" or "What are the four types of conflict?", you can simply direct them to their handbook for the answer!

All you need to do is print, use double sided photocopying, fold and you have a ready-made-booklet! It looks great in color or black and white!
