Item description

“Games at Twilight” by Anita Desai is a short story about a young boy whose youthful determination and immaturity lead to a difficult outcome he is not yet prepared to process emotionally or intellectually. This close reading analysis worksheet helps English teachers extend reading comprehension and support the process of critical thinking. While the close reading activity upholds academic rigor, the brevity of the narrative helps to fill awkward gaps in teaching schedules. An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in a zip file containing editable Word Documents and printable PDFs. By completing the close reading activity, students will perform the following tasks:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Discern the function of given detail
  • Examine how the author achieves a somber tone
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor, personification, foreshadowing, imagery, paradox, situational irony, dramatic irony, and more
  • Explore relevant themes, especially as they relate to the concept of hubris
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant textual details
  • Write about literature with clarity, accuracy, and precision
  • Come to class/leave class better prepared to discuss literary materials

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