A Rose For Emily Close Reading and Assessment Activities

Description
Engaging in a close read with a text is an essential skill for secondary students.
When students learn to “have a conversation” with and grasp the nuances of a complicated text, they are able to comprehend complex texts independently and proficiently.
This resource includes the following:
- Book Cover Poster for Classroom Display
- Student Copy of the Text (12' font and numbered lines)
- Suggested Annotation Copy of the Text (Answer Key)
- (1) 10 question quiz aligned to standardized test requirements
- (1) standardized essay prompt.
These resources work best for a close reading lesson(s). They can be used as a traditional paper-based assignment or a digital activity. The Student Copy contains guided questions that focus on plot, setting, characterization, literary elements, and literary devices to prepare your students for standardized testing. The “Discussion” questions are intended for class discussion, while the “questions” are intended for students to write their own answers alongside the text. The assessments will evaluate your students' understanding and analysis of the text and prepare them for standardized tests.
I am passionate about sharing my love for reading with young adults and helping them to become lifelong learners.
Please consider leaving feedback to help me improve my resource quality.
Happy reading and annotating!
