Item description

Evaluate general reading comprehension, support critical thinking, and facilitate vocabulary development with this bundle of formative assessments covering Kate Chopin’s short story “Desiree’s Baby,” a piece of historical fiction that, when integrated into the English Language Arts classroom, complements American History curricula, as the plot precedes the Civil War and addresses the issue of how race and ethnicity affect one’s life experiences in the South. A plot-based quiz, a close reading analysis worksheet, a vocabulary application activity, a crossword puzzle, a word search game, the public domain short story, and answer keys are included. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. By engaging with these materials, students will perform the following tasks:

  • Identify what the text states both explicitly and implicitly
  • Define words and phrases as they are used in the text
  • Consult reference materials in order to learn and verify word meanings
  • Choose the most proper application of words as they are used in sentences
  • Consider the effects of the author’s language and narrative techniques
  • Examine how characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including irony and foreshadowing
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Write about fiction with clarity, accuracy, and precision

This resource may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.

Materials are available for teaching a variety of texts such as:
