* Minstrel in the Tower does not have questions for students to answer and turn in. Instead, you'll be using the discussion guide found in the binder to review vocabulary and content. You'll also be working through the project sent home in the Fortis Folders. (Directions can be found on the back.) Please pace help your students work on pacing themselves with the project. There are some parts that can't be completed until the book is finished but it shouldn't all be kept until the end. Projects are due on the last day before Christmas break. On this day students will be taking a multiple choice test over the book. To prepare, you can review the questions on the discussion guide.
