The first “Shmoop study group” happened this past Sunday at Taco Bell. The event started at 11:59 p.m., exactly 24 hours before each student’s book report was due. It consisted of students comparing notes they took on the Shmoop pages for their books.

“It was a riveting experience,” Junior Kasey Casum said the following school day. “Everyone I talked to had the same notes as me, word-for-word. That makes me feel confident that the essay I’ll start writing at eight tonight will be awesome.”
