QUESTIONS ASKED:

• 6:03 - Jennifer asks "How do you know a high schooler is ready for literary analysis? What should I be looking for in his essays to know he's proficient? How many times do they need to go through the different units before they're ready to go onto something like Windows to the World"
• 11:31 - Heather asks "Do IEW's material ever teach a three level outline?"
• 12:57 - Sherry asks "Any tips for students to write in the present tense when writing about the story?"
• 14:55 - Anne-Marie asks "In Genghis Khan and his Hawk, my son felt that the death of the hawk was needless. He felt that loyalty is usually rewarded but not in this story. Is his opinion valid because it seems the death of the hawk makes  the story so emotional?"
