Surely the answers to these questions would help? There is no answers sheet. Meaning I have to do the activity myself to find the answers??
Hello David. Do you mean for the comprehension questions based on the passage? I’d never thought to include them, thinking they should be obvious to the instructor (i.e. Yes, you’d have to do the reading and find the answers yourself). With this advanced lesson plan, I can see the argument for it being helpful. If that’s your suggestion, then I think it’s a good one in cases where the answers aren’t straightforward especially. I’ll make a note to start including them.
Note: I’ve updated the .DOCX with some answers.
