Independent Novel Questions

In Advanced Studies English 10, each student read a different novel and wrote out questions and answers relating to the novel. Later on, students read a novel that  a classmate had read and answered the questions that the classmate had created.

I also learned about recognizing important parts in the plot of stories.
