How many ways can you break down a classic novel? Based on the acclaimed Romantic-period novel by Emily Bronte, the Wuthering Heights activity pack includes a pre-reading exercise. Next, learners create a resume for one of the characters, conduct research and prepare a short report about gender roles, and list examples of conflict from the novel. Finally, they complete a worksheet on plot structure.
