Item description

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 6 through 10). 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
  • Consider the relevance of a given chapter title (“Wreckage”)
  • Articulate the greater significance of a given detail
  • Explore techniques the author uses to convey a sense of defeatism
  • Examine how characters think, behave, develop, or interact
  • Identify an example of epiphany and articulate the effect it has on a character
  • Apply knowledge of various literary devices including situational irony, aposiopesis, and paradox
  • 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:
