*For Minstrel in the Tower, there are no formal comprehension questions to answer.  Instead, there is a discussion guide with vocabulary to review and some questions to discuss orally that can be found in the front of the Fortis Folders.  Students will complete a project that they will share with the rest of the class at the conclusion of the book.  We will be making the templates in class and then the student can fill them in at home.  Students will also have a test over this book.  If they can answer the questions on the discussion guide, they will do just fine.  It's not worth very many points but sometimes I like to expose students to things they will face in coming years while the stakes are low just so they get to practice them!
