This is an interactive partner or small group activity that will have students up and moving throughout the room in order to answer 15 questions related to many different literary devices in the short story "The Gift of the Magi".

The product contains 15 multiple questions that have 4 answer choices. You will hang these signs around your classroom. Based on their answer, the students will be directed to another question. If the students make a mistake, they have to retrace their footsteps and find the question(s) they answered incorrectly. Each group/ pair will start at a different question, and the kids will "follow the trail" of questions throughout your room.

Also included is an answer sheet for students to record their answers as well as an answer key for the teacher.

Please view the attached video that explains how to use my line of Question Trails for Literary Analysis!

This station activity walks students through analyzing Frost's "Stopping By Woods on a Snowy Evening". They complete a series of activities, which include:

1. reading and annotating the poem

2. completing comprehension questions about the poem

3. identifying the theme of and writing a short, original piece with a similar theme

4. creating a blackout found poem (2 differentiated passages included!)

5. writing a gist statement and drawing a relevant illustration.

There are 2 separate student packets, as well as signs to hang at each station with directions for the students! I love to do this activity on the winter solstice, but it is great for any time your students need a bit of poetic inspiration!
