Before a reading quiz or a big book test, students may often have trouble remembering everything they read throughout the book. While writing an essay, students may take way too long to find quotes. Sparknotes is the perfect solution for all these problems.
Sparknotes allows students to review a book in much less time than it would take them to reread the whole book before a test. This applies to reading quizzes as well. If a reading is due a week after it's assigned, some people may read it the first night and forget it by the quiz. Rest assured that your students won't cheat because you'll still be able to see their annotations when they turn in their book.
Sparknotes has many useful features such as character reviews. These give a summary of the most important characters in the book. While a student is studying for a test, instead of going through all their individual worksheets and rereading half the book, they can just read a synopsis of the character's defining traits, as seen below for Macbeth.
The same help applies to plot, themes, symbols, and more!
While worksheets may be enough in some scenarios, students will always lose some sheets or not want to reread them. Students won't be so averse to reading a page on the internet, after all, it's all the do these days. It makes a great, easy to use source and contains information on a plethora of books. All in all, Sparknotes is a great resource for studying before quizzes and tests in English classes.
