Fiction Close Reading Guide

The Fiction Close Reading Guide is a fill-in-the-blank Google Slides worksheet, created to serve as an versatile teaching tool for educators. It is designed to assess learners' understanding of any fiction text - from short stories to complete novels or even selected chapters or sections.

Emphasizing on fostering high-level thinking, this resource touches on many Common Core State Standards skills in a single compact space. It encourages educators to model robust answers while teaching every skill, enabling students grasp key concepts deeply and organically.

This guide focuses on several key literary skills:

  1. Identifying the Sub-Genre: This task aids students in classifying texts based on particular elements and properties.

  2. Making Text Connections: Here, learners will draw connections from the text itself either back to their personal experiences (text-to-self), broader global contexts (text-to-world), or similar pieces of literature (text-to-text).

  3. Characterization Methods and Examples: Students will identify examples that illustrate how an author presents characters and their development throughout the story.

  4. Literary Devices Identification: This section directs students towards recognizing various techniques authors use for desired effects.

  5. Mood Identification: Learners should detect what mood is established in the story and how it's developed using textual evidence.

  6. The final focus area guides pupils towards understanding central themes within a narrative.

    In terms of grade levels, this reading guide fits especially well into high school Language Arts curriculum for grades 9 through 12. To ensure optimal visibility with your Google Slides view window zoomed to 100% or higher — you'll find this resource most effectively fosters comprehension learning goals while encouraging close reading techniques essential when examining fictional literature works.
