Each worksheet eliminates the need for take-home assessment planning without sacrificing academic rigor. Answer keys are provided. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. By engaging with these materials, students will do the following:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
  • Define challenging words and phrases as they are used in the text
  • Examine nuances in words with similar meanings
  • Discern the greater significance and intended effects of given details
  • Make logical inferences about the author’s thinking in context
  • Discern the tone of given excerpts
  • Determine the function of a given chapter
  • Explore how complex characters think, behave, interact, and develop
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including personification, metaphor, simile, sibilance, hyperbole, hubris, imagery and more
  • Explore themes in context
  • Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant textual evidence
  • Write about literature with clarity, accuracy, and precision

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 activities for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.
