Help high school students go beyond general reading comprehension and practice close reading analysis skills with this rigorous worksheet covering The War of the Worlds by H.G. Wells (book 2, chapters 1 through 5). An answer key is included. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. By completing the close reading activity, students will:

  • Identify what the text states explicitly as well as implicitly
  • Articulate the greater significance of a given detail
  • Discern the function of a given chapter
  • Explore the symbolism of given objects or circumstances
  • Make logical inferences about the author’s perspective on religion in the context of disastrous survival situations
  • Explore how characters think, behave, develop, and interact
  • Discern a relevant theme in the context of a given chapter
  • Apply knowledge of literary devices including personification
  • Support claims and inferences with reasoned thinking and relevant evidence
  • Write about fiction 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:
