Item description

Support the development of close reading analysis skills for high school with this worksheet composed of challenging questions to complement “The Most Dangerous Game” by Richard Connell. Delivered in printable Word Document and PDF formats, this resource helps teachers save valuable time at home without sacrificing rigor in the classroom. A detailed answer key is included, as well as a copy of the public domain short story. By completing this activity, students will do the following:

  • Locate evidence in support of the claim that Rainsford lacks critical thinking abilities in the story’s exposition
  • Locate evidence in support of the claim that Rainsford shows blatant disregard for potential threats in the story’s exposition
  • Evaluate whether Rainsford believes he is better or worse off after encountering the anguished screams of a creature he cannot identify
  • Articulate the irony in Rainsford’s inability to classify the aforementioned anguished screams, and how this detail allows readers make predictions about the plot
  • Locate evidence in support of the claim that Rainsford and Zaroff share common traits
  • Apply knowledge of verbal irony and articulate what makes the statement verbally ironic
  • Apply knowledge of foreshadowing and articulate what an incident foreshadows
