Description
"The Yellow WallPaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman is a staple in many American literature classes. This short story is nuanced and textured, so teachers need tools to help students access the text from every angle. To help you work through this text with your students, I've put together a pack of tools.
Includes:
"The Yellow Wallpaper" Reading Questions, Writing Prompts, and Literary Criticism Activity: To help students close read Charlotte Perkins Gilman's classic, this tool includes 44 multiple-choice and short answer questions that appear side-by-side with the text. In addition, this tool includes 16 writing prompts (rubric included) that focus on figurative language, character, and theme. But my favorite part of this set is the literary criticism tool that invites students to analyze the text from biographical, historical, and feminist perspectives.
"Why I Wrote 'The Yellow Wallpaper'?" Reading Questions: After writing her watershed short story, Charlotte Perkins Gilman received lots of feedback. Some criticized and discredited her account while others recognized her story as similar to their own. With these responses in mind, Gilman wrote an essay explaining her purpose for writing her short story. To help students evaluate "The Yellow Wallpaper" alongside Gilman's essay, I've put together 10 multiple-choice and short answer questions that appear side-by-side with the text. These questions are available in a .pdf, Google Slides, and a Google Form.
Paired Poem "Against Idleness and Mischief" by Isaac Watts: Part way through "The Yellow Wallpaper" by Charlotte Perkins Gilman, the speaker's husband John alludes to "Against Idleness and Mischief" by Isaac Watts. Reading this poem alongside Gilman's short story provides readers with an opportunity to synthesize across texts and genres. To facilitate this, I have included poetry annotation directions, multiple-choice questions, and an opportunity for text connections!. These questions are available in a .pdf, Google Slides, and a Google Form.
Crash Course Literature Listening Guide "The Yellow Wallpaper": To introduce "The Yellow Wallpaper" to students, I like to use John Green's Crash Course literature. However, the video can move pretty quickly, so I made a quick, ready-to-print listening guide that helps students move through the video and build knowledge before engaging the short story. Also includes a Google Form version of the questions. Check it out here.
*Bonus* Exclusive Synthesis Questions: As a bundle exclusive, I have also included 8 prompts that help students synthesize the short story, poem, and essay. These prompts help students synthesize across genres. The rubric is also included!
To purchase these items individually would be $12, but buying them as a bundle or instructional pack will save you $2. This is the same as getting one of the supplemental resources for free! Plus you get the bonus synthesis prompts! That's 4 products for one great price!
Since these are Google resources, when you purchase this resource, TPT will create a file in your Google Drive where you will find the fillable .pdf, Google Forms, and Google Slides.
BUT WAIT...You can also get all four of these resources in my 9-12 Short Stories Bundle, which includes 7 texts and 250+ pages. This is an entire unit of study! I've included $34 worth of materials in one bundle. Buying the bundle saves you $6, which is like getting two of the resources for free. This is everything you need for your short story unit!
