Description
These Stories of the Week are wonderful practice for close reading, thinking critically about literature, practicing evidence-based paragraphs, and getting used to ACT/SAT passages. Each is based on a short story from old ACT practice tests and is connected to the Reading Literature Common Core Standards. I used them in my 9th grade classroom, and they genuinely helped my students with many skills. They aren't super fancy, but they are very useful. I hope you enjoy them! In this bundle you will find 9 stories of the week, along with a rubric that can be used for grading, an explanation of the TICEE paragraph, and an example Story of the Week with grades attached to the example answers.
