The best resource I found involved some author background, summary, and best of all some discussion questions. There are only nine of them but they all have multiple parts/questions inside them. Looking thru them it looked like a very good website to use and follow during the duration of reading this book. Here's the website:http://www.litlovers.com/guide_little_women.html
The best resource I found was an analysis of the plot, main character, main adversary, setting and style. I thought that this website was a great tool to better understand the book and main characters. It gives the reader a sense of time period as well. Below is the website. http://www.allreaders.com/topics/info_32894.asp
The best resource I found was a list of allusions (both historical and literary) that the book references. Since understanding allusions that Alcott uses is so critical to understading her work, I believe that the following website should prove very useful: http://www.classbrain.com/artbiographies/publish/louisa_may_alcott.shtml
One resource that I thought was of great use was one that had things that included a plot summary, publication history, further reading, and it also explains a little about Alcott and the books relationship to the Tempest.
Also, I found another website that might be useful, it has different conversations discussing many aspects of the book and anyone can chime in. It may be useful to look at other peoples points of view and discussions about the book. The site also has many different reviews from regular people and recommendations for other books if you like this one. http://www.librarything.com/work/20173
I was just chatting with a librarian on the web. She couldn't even find spark notes on this book. We just had to pick the new one, huh? Oh well. I'll keep looking anyway.
InfOhio is a useful resource for finding info on Louisa May Alcott. I found this on the World Book Encyclopedia page, http://www.worldbookonline.com/advanced/article?id=ar011700&st=louisa+may+alcott
One of the discussion forums I found looks promising. It seems to be live chat. You have to sign up, but it's free and it only requires your email address. If you guys and your parents are okay with it, I think we should become members so we can chat with other members. I still can't find anything like study guide questions, so maybe we can do this instead.
sorry i haven't been on here. i've been trying to look for some discussion questions as well since my first set was on little women not our book, but i'm just not having any luck.
I think since we can't find any discussion questions we should just use the blog for questions and discuss the book. lets not worry about having a preset set of questions?

ReplyDeleteI'm gonna be looking for discussion questions. Seems like it's going to be tricky. If any of you have luck with that, let me know.
ReplyDelete@Tess What was the website you used to find your resource? I don't think I found one quite like that:)
