This resource, due to copyright restrictions, DOES NOT include the text to the story. Included on the handout are the first two sentences and last two sentences of each excerpt, to allow for easy location in the text. It is advised that each student have his or her own copy of the text for easy annotation.
This short story unit is suitable for middle school students at all levels, but includes scaffolded support for students who struggle in writing.
TEACHERS LIKE YOU SAID....
"This was perfect for our short story unit on Bradbury's writing. After working through the evidence packets, my students were able to then use them as a resource for an essay. It was structured so well to assist all my students. Thank you so much!"
"Wow! My kids got a lot out of the story by doing these activities and the format really pushed them to make connections and expand their answers."
"This entire resource has proved to be invaluable! I have used it during state testing when half of my class is gone taking a test and I needed something for students to work on quietly. I have been able to use it when there was a sub and I needed something to engage and challenge my students. The analysis of this short story is quite flawless. Definitely worth every penny! Thank you!"
