Item description

Help middle and high school students go beyond general reading comprehension and develop close reading analysis skills while they engage with The Adventures of Ulysses by Bernard Evslin. Highlighting a significant passage from chapter seven (“Circe”), this resource features a line of rigorous questioning to promote active engagement with the text. An answer key is provided. Materials are delivered in printable Word Document and PDF formats. By engaging with this close reading activity, students will:

  • Discern the reason for Ulysses’ reluctance in terms of advancing toward the castle
  • Apply knowledge of literary concepts including internal conflict and personification
  • Discern the significance of the white deer’s appearance
  • Define complex words and phrases in the context of a passage
  • Verify interpretations of language using reference materials
  • Determine which given adjective is most suitable to Ulysses in context
  • Explore the setting’s influence on Ulysses’ psychological state
  • Discern a logical inference in context
  • Isolate a false statement about plot from correct statements

This resource may serve as the basis for 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.
