This 200-page EDITABLE curriculum has everything you'll need to deliver profoundly stimulating lessons on Tommy Orange's There There! Invite your class to engage in student-driven discussions without compromising on intellectual rigor. The discussion questions, daily quizzes, literary device exercise, creative writing assignment, and analytical writing assignment will challenge your students to dig beneath the surface of the text and generate profound interpretive insights!

Hold your students accountable for completing the nightly homework by beginning every class with a quick vocabulary and reading quiz. Facilitate dynamic discussions that motivate students to become attached to the thrill generating shared knowledge. Challenge students to explicate textual details using a wide range of interpretive lenses: formalist, psychoanalytic, feminist, etc. Inspire students to arrive at a whole new depth of insight!

Here are some highlights from the 200-page editable curriculum:

• Discussion Question Handouts: Thirty pages of higher-order discussion questions guaranteed to inspire profoundly thoughtful class discussions! This unit features double-sided handouts with 8-10 questions for each of the novel's 12 sections. The discussion questions are the beating heart of these lesson plans. Every discussion question is grounded in concrete textual details and challenges students to arrive at lucid interpretive insights! The questions could be used to focus students’ thinking prior to beginning a discussion, to foster in-class writing such as stop-and-jots, or to assign written reflections for homework. Guaranteed to elicit student engagement and foster profound discussions! (30 pages)

• Discussion Question Answer Keys: The answer keys to the discussion questions are informed by the best scholarly articles on Tommy Orange's There There. Of course, there is rarely a single "correct" answer for any question; rather, the discussions questions are made up of higher-order questions designed to foster lively exchanges and interpretive debates among students. They challenge students to build interpretive arguments that require the support of carefully selected textual evidence. (75 pages)

• Quick Writes: A "quick write" can be used at any time in a class to get students to pause and reflect on the text in writing. Introduce a quick write before you begin a discussion to allow students to collect their thoughts. Or use one at the end of class to let students capture and refine their best ideas. (12 pages)

• Vocabulary Lists: Lists of 10 vocabulary words for each of the novel's 12 sections, complete with definitions and sample sentences with the words as used in There There. A total of 120 SAT-worthy words. (12 pages)

• Reading & Vocabulary Quizzes: Daily quizzes with 10 questions on the nightly reading homework plus another 10 questions on the vocabulary words. If you choose not to have your students study vocabulary, you can still use the portion of the quiz devoted to reading comprehension. Grading these quizzes is simple and quick. They’re an easy way to log 12 to 24 grades into your gradebook. Answer keys included. (48 pages)

• Figurative Language Quiz: This quiz challenges students to identify the types of figurative language used in thirty quotations from There There. The literary devices include metaphor, simile, symbolism, paradox, allusion, and foreshadowing. This bundle also features a glossary with definitions of each type of figurative language as well as examples of how each type is used in Tommy Orange's novel — so you can review them with students before they tackle the quiz. The quiz can be used either as a graded assessment or as a fun refresher worksheet. Answer key included. (5 pages)

• Q3 Practice Essay: Designed for teachers of AP Literature, this in-class practice essay will allow students to rehearse the "Q3" essay from the AP Literature and Composition Exam. The assignment asks students to write a 40-minute in-class essay in response to one amongst three recent Q3 prompts for which There There would work great as a work of literary merit. (5 pages)

• Creative Writing Assignment: Invite students to emulate the structure of There There by collaborating in small groups to write a "polyphonic" text. A “polyphonic” text is a multi-voiced literary text that consists of a series of chapters written in the voices of different narrators. Students work in groups to write personal narratives centered around a shared interest, experience, or identity. Student writing sample and rubric included. (3 pages)

• Analytical Writing Assignment: Challenge students to take their interpretations one step further by writing an analytical paper on Tommy Orange's There There. Let students choose from one of 5 thought-provoking sample topics — or invite them to develop a similar topic of their own. Rubric included. (4 pages)

This resource packet will come to you in two different formats: Word docs *and* PDFs. Because the Word docs are editable, you'll be able to customize the materials to suit your teaching style and/or your students' skill levels — year after year! If you don't have Microsoft Word, you'll still be able to access the entire unit as PDF files, which are easy to navigate and quick to print!

Because I believe that teachers should be able to see exactly what they'd be getting before they purchase, the preview for this resource provides direct access to over 20 pages from the resource packet. Click on the green “preview” button to see exactly what you’ll get....

Thank you for choosing “Rigorous Resources”!!

P.S. I begin my 11th-grade course in American literature by teaching There There — and it has been my students' favorite book for the past five years in a row! The current school year is an especially good time to teach this novel because Tommy Orange just finished a sequel which was published in March 2024. If you're considering teaching this thematically powerful and aesthetically beautiful novel, my enthusiastic advice is to do it!

This St. Patrick's Day Figurative Language Short Passage Set is a no-prep, printable close reading activity that's perfect for middle school and high school. Use it for St. Patrick's Day or any day! This is a 207-word passage filled with 14 examples of figurative language, such as hyperbole, metaphor, simile, and personification. I’ve found that although my students can tell me the definition of these terms, simile is the only one they can truly pick out in a text. As a result, their writing is filled with overused similes that need work! This figurative language passage set is rigorous, uses higher-level words and phrases, and in addition to merely identifying the different types, students will be asked to discuss the impact it has on the reader, as they’re asked to do on standardized testing. Check out my other figurative language passage sets here!

Simply print and go! There is truly no preparation needed, which is why this set is perfect to leave for sub plans, bell ringers, homework, test prep, review or assessment!

*As an optional review activity, use my No-prep Four Corners Figurative Language Activity resource for a fun whole-group game, then use this passage set for assessment!
Activity:
Students can complete all three worksheets as part of a packet, but I suggest using one each day. If you teach allusion, alliteration, idiom, or onomatopoeia, you can ask students to include those in Task 2 where they will be asked to continue the passage using a similar writing style. I have left some blanks on the checklist for this very purpose.

Reflection:
The class can review the answers and comments as a whole group when the activity is complete. You’ll be surprised how much better they’ll get at figurative language after being exposed to some high-quality examples!
