Item description

Help high school students go beyond general reading comprehension and facilitate the development of critical thinking skills with this close reading analysis worksheet covering H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “The Moon Bog,” a narrative uniquely suited for Halloween and Saint Patrick’s Day given its merging of a fictional Irish setting with elements of supernatural horror. A detailed answer key and copy of the public domain text are provided. Materials are delivered in editable Word Document and printable PDF formats. By completing this activity, students will:

  • Articulate what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Analyze context clues and draw logical inferences about character mindsets and motivations
  • Apply knowledge of various literary devices including foreshadowing, situational irony, and dramatic irony
  • Define complex words as they are used in the text by taking into consideration denotative and connotative meanings
  • Support responses with relevant textual evidence
  • Write ideas with clarity, accuracy, and precision

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:
