What educators are saying
The Paired Texts Bundle — The Story of an Hour, The Yellow Wallpaper was an excellent addition to my lesson.
I used this resource to guide a class discussion after reading "The Yellow Wallpaper." Students were engaged and had to think about their responses rather than recite information, which I appreciated.

Description
In this Paired Texts Bundle — You will receive a literary analysis for each individual story: The Story of an Hour by Kate Chopin and The Yellow Wallpaper by Charlotte Perkins Gilman. In addition, you will receive an essay prompt and rubric for a text-dependent analysis essay and graphic organizer to compare and contrast both pieces of literature.
The paired texts analysis focuses on many literary elements (similarities and differences) including: point of view, text structure, theme, characters, conflict, and symbols.
Each individual analysis comes with pre-reading activities and reading comprehension questions with answer keys.
Student Objectives:
- Analyze how two texts from the same period treat similar themes or topics
- Compare and contrast the structure of two or more texts and analyze how the differing structure of each text contributes to its meaning and style.
- Cite strong and thorough textual evidence to support analysis of what the text says explicitly, as well as inferences and conclusions based on and related to an author’s implicit and explicit assumptions and beliefs.
- Draw evidence from literary texts to support analysis, reflection, and research.
- Students will analyze important literary devices including: plot, conflicts, themes, characters, point of view, text structure, mood, tone, and symbolism.
