Instructional Ideas

  • Use the activity with any novel or reading unit

Classroom Considerations

  • Quality of the worksheet is low, but if you go to the publisher's website (at the bottom of the page) you may be able to find a higher-quality version
  • The reflection section notes that instructors could incorporate some of Edgar Allan Poe works; however, the section does not include a list of stories or suggestions for how to incorporate these resources

Pros

  • A helpful, collaborative way for class members to work on their reading comprehension
  • Appropriate for any book or short story

Cons

  • None
