Instructors expect great things from a good teacher's guide, and this one delivers. The 48-page guide to Charles Dickens's Great Expectations provides information about plot developments and new characters and places introduced in each of the 59 chapters. The guide includes before, during, and after reading strategies and activities and factual, interpretive, and evaluative questions. This guide is truly great.
