Less than $5 8th Grade Close Reading Homework (by date, oldest first)

This is an excellent worksheet to give prior to having students read Shakespeare's play "As You Like It". It has historical information about the play and 7 short answer questions. *** You may also like my study guide for As You Like It *** As You Like It Interactive Flipbook

This product will allow your students to easily understand and analyze Robert Frost's "Nothing Gold Can Stay" by breaking it down line-by-line!

Instruct your students to fold the paper in half the long way, and to cut along the black lines into the midline of the paper. They will end up with a long, skinny version of the poem on the front of the flaps, and analysis question inside.

As they read the poem, they will peel back the flap to reveal questions that ask them to analyze the poem for symbolism, mood, imagery, allusion, and theme. I have included an answer key of sample responses for your convenience.

You can use this product in an interactive notebook, as part of your analysis of chapter 6 of S.E Hinton's The Outsiders, in conjunction with The Fault in Our Stars, with Catcher in the Rye, or as part of a poetry study! Please ask if you have any questions!

This is a very simple double entry journal assignment. Over the course of the week, students are asked to read their book at home and in class. As they read, they will practice reading strategies and identifying literary concepts. They will cite their quote on the left, and analyze it on the right.

Background: Due to the first person limited narrator S.E. Hinton used in The Outsiders, the Socs are mostly silent. We are very aware of the greasers’ point of view and of their problems and concerns, but the Socs remain aloof and mysterious. Luckily, we hear from two important Socs—Cherry and Randy—who help us come to a better understanding of what it’s like to be a Soc.

This worksheet requires students to analyze quotes from Cherry and Randy, as well as the conversation Pony has with Randy on p. 115-118. It is best completed after reading chapter 7. It ends with a question that relates what the students have learned during this chapter to the main conflict of the novel.

You could use this as homework or classwork, and have students do it individually or with a partner/ small group. I've included an answer key for your convenience!

This week- long assignment asks students to make nightly entries describing the setting of the scene they read that night, and then analyze how the setting affects the tone and mood. At the end, they need to draw a conclusion about the relationship between setting and mood/ tone.
