Item description

Help high school students go beyond general reading comprehension and support the development of critical thinking skills with this set of three rigorous worksheets covering H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “The Call of Cthulhu,” a narrative of special appeal to those interested in horror, science fiction, and the supernatural. Each worksheet corresponds to a particular section of the story (“The Horror in Clay,” “The Tale of Inspector Legrasse,” and “The Madness from the Sea”). Answer keys and a copy of the public domain text are included. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. By engaging with these close reading activities, students will:

  • Identify what the text states both explicitly and implicitly
  • Define words and phrases as they are used in the text
  • Determine the tone of a particular passage
  • Discern the author’s intent and its effect on readers.
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including idiom, euphemism, simile, metaphor, invective, personification, hubris, hyperbole, and onomatopoeia
  • Draw parallels between “The Call of Cthulhu” and the epic The Odyssey
  • 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

These resources may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using these resources 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:
