What educators are saying
This resource was great for my Honors English I class. I would love to see a similar resource with texts that a lower level for lower grades. It really helped break up our routine.
These task cards were easy to prep and easy for students to use. I’ll definitely use them again next year.

Tasks include identifying and explaining denotation and connotation, abstract and concrete diction, slang, and jargon.
These 30 task cards (two on a sheet, as they are larger to include longer passages) can be used as bell-ringers, group work, quizzes, or review activities. An answer key is included as a guide.
Passages come from works of literature such as The Crucible, The Great Gatsby, The Glass Menagerie, Hamlet, "The Yellow Wallpaper," and many other classics.
