Item description

Fairy tales are not just for elementary readers; even middle and high school students may use Grimms’ fairy tales as tools for extending beyond reading comprehension and practicing close reading analysis skills. “Donkey Cabbages” by the Brothers Grimm is a representative short story that promotes active engagement with fiction.  English Language Arts teachers may assign this set of rigorous questions to complement the story and evaluate students’ high-order skills. An answer key and copy of the public domain narrative are provided.  Materials are delivered in printable Word Document and PDF formats. By engaging with this close reading activity, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Analyze how complex characters think, behave, and interact with others
  • Articulate what makes a particular character’s actions suspicious
  • Analyze nuances in words with similar meanings
  • Select the most appropriate synonym to replace a word in the text
  • Discern the greater significance of a given detail
  • Articulate the irony associated with a given detail
  • Apply knowledge of various literary devices including situational irony, dramatic irony, foreshadowing, and juxtaposition
  • Isolate an example of figurative language from among several options
  • Examine the authors’ diction to determine its intended effect
  • Defend claims and ideas with valid reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Write ideas with clarity, accuracy, and precision

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