Item description

Evaluate general reading comprehension, facilitate vocabulary development, and sharpen critical thinking and literary craft analysis skills with this bundle of materials for teaching “Games at Twilight” by Anita Desai, a short story about a young boy whose youthful determination and immaturity lead to a difficult outcome he is not prepared to process emotionally or intellectually. A plot-based quiz, a close reading analysis worksheet, a vocabulary application activity, a crossword puzzle, a word search game, and answer keys are provided. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. By engaging with these materials, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Consult reference materials to learn and verify word meanings
  • Choose the most proper application of words as they are used in sentences
  • Infer the intended effects of the author’s stylistic choices and narrative techniques
  • Discern the function of given detail
  • Examine how complex characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor, personification, foreshadowing, imagery, paradox, situational irony, dramatic irony, and more
  • Consider themes in context
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant evidence
  • Write about fiction with clarity, accuracy, and precision
  • Come to class better prepared to discuss literature

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:
