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 Birthmark". It is for in-person instruction; if you'd prefer a hybrid/ virtual/ distance learning version, please check out the same product but in a digital version: Birthmark Question Trail: Google Version!

The product contains 15 multiple questions that have at least 4 answer choices that you will hang in a large circle around your room. Assign each student (or partner pair) a question to begin at so everyone doesn’t move through the activity in a large clump. Each answer will direct students to the next question they should move to. The correct answers will lead the students to each of the 15 questions exactly once. Only by getting the correct answers will students be able to complete the circle trail successfully!

The questions address literary devices such as author's word choice, figurative language, irony, foreshadowing, and characterization.

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