Item description

For many high school readers, age-appropriate fantasy and fairy tale fiction are genres that maximize engagement with literature. With this worksheet composed of rigorous questions on “Hansel and Gretel” by the Brothers Grimm, English teachers will help students extend beyond reading comprehension, support the development of close reading analysis skills, and save valuable time at home without sacrificing rigor in the classroom. An answer key and copy of the public domain narrative (estimated Lexile Range 810-1000) are included. Materials are delivered in printable Word Document and PDF formats. By completing this close reading activity, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly as well as implicitly
  • Analyze dialogue to discern how a character uses manipulative tactics to achieve a goal
  • Analyze characterization to discern and articulate a dominant internal conflict in the text
  • Apply knowledge of alliteration to the text
  • Analyze the authors’ word choices to discern and articulate how these choices create the literary device of paradox
  • Identify several examples of simile in the text
  • Apply knowledge of dramatic irony to the text, discerning and articulating how it manifests
  • Apply knowledge of situational irony to the text, discerning and articulating how it manifests
  • Apply knowledge of foreshadowing to the text, explaining what is foreshadowed and how
  • Write with clarity and precision
