There is a multiple-choice quiz with 15 questions (answers provided). This quiz focuses on the first paragraph of a longer extract, asking students to think about the writer’s viewpoint and the methods that he uses to express this viewpoint.
In class, I have used this prior to a lesson which then uses the whole text (included) which is an article from 1857 by Daniel Clarke Eddy on parenting.
If you don’t wish to use it in this way, the quiz could serve as a useful homework or cover activity. The questions could be used to structure a guided reading or revision session.
There is scope for students to use the text as a springboard for their own, transactional writing, expressing views about effective guidance and support for young people.
