Engage your students in close reading and literary analysis with this The Monkey's Paw Close Reading Literary Analysis Unit! This digital and traditional print close reading activity for "The Monkey's Paw" requires students to go back to carefully-selected passages from the text to read and closely analyze specific literary elements: figurative language, foreshadowing, and mood.
With an emphasis placed on close reading and literary analysis, students will gain a better understanding of W. W. Jacobs's short story "The Monkey's Paw," as well as increase their understanding of the conflict in the story. Students will then be able to write a one-paragraph literary response that includes quotations and analysis.
Prep is super easy. With options for both traditional print and digital instruction, either just print and go or digitally assign and go! Students will love how easy close reading and literary analysis is!
