The Monkey’s Paw: Full Lesson Plan w/ PowerPoints & Graphic Organizers
Use this lesson sequence with your own copy of W. W. Jacobs’s The Monkey’s Paw. Students move from previewing and vocabulary into reading questions, literary analysis and a critical-thinking response. The plan calls on plot instruction, with additional literary PowerPoints and organizers available for other teaching focuses. Worked responses cover the eleven Questions For Thought, leaving other writing tasks open for student interpretation.
