Very Comprehensive April 11, 2013
Reviewer: Shannon Maxson from Lansing , NY United States  
This guide is very helpful. My only complaint is that it lacks a suggested timeline for instruction like those included in other guides. While I understand that it is probably because of the bulk of material contained in this guide, it would be helpful for the first-time user to have some ideas for teaching sections or the whole.

Best Lit Guide! October 13, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Collegeville, PA United States  
I am thrilled with the Canterbury Tales Lit Guide. This was the most comprehensive lit guide I have ever purchased. I am so happy with all of the materials. This guide provides the structure I was looking for. I especially like the comprehension check-up questions and assessment models. Secondary Solutions will be my first stop for lit guides in the future.

Canterbury Tales Literature Guide February 11, 2012
Reviewer: Anonymous Person from Williamsburg, VA United States  
This guide is extremely helpful when teaching Canterbury Tales to 10th and 11th grade students.  It is well thought out and is easy to use as enrichment no matter which part I chose to use.  Thanks so much for creating these guides; it is so nice to not have to reinvent the wheel in order to teach a piece of literature indepth.
