Item description

Help high school students go beyond general reading comprehension and develop close reading analysis skills with this close reading activity to complement H.P. Lovecraft’s short story “The Outsider.” With an estimated Lexile Measure of 1100-1200, “The Outsider” is an appropriate addition to a Halloween-themed short story unit for grades 9 through 12. An answer key and copy of the public domain narrative are provided. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. By completing this exercise, students will:

  • Respond clearly, concisely, and accurately to concrete and analytical questioning
  • Locate textual evidence in support of claims
  • Analyze the symbolic meaning of an object
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including situational irony and foreshadowing, articulating how they are applied while citing evidence in support of claims
  • Explore character motivations
  • Analyze the author’s craft with emphasis on unique phrasing, sentence structures, and sensory language

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:
