Uglies: Close Reading PowerPoint Chapters 1-5

This is a SAMPLE from my 151-slide PowerPoint. It is aligned with Common Core Standards and is a great tool for guiding students through a more in-depth textual analysis of Uglies by Scott Westerfeld. Each chapter is marked by a slide featuring a plot diagram and a summary of the action in that chapter. Additional slides review key passages and push students to deeper analysis, with a strong emphasis on making inferences, recognizing foreshadowing, understanding the major themes and symbolism in the novel, and identifying figurative language. The PowerPoint is organized by chapter to make it easy and quick to use. Slides can be used for bellringers, discussion starters, timed writing prompts, and review. Each slide also features teacher notes with the answers to all questions that are posed on the slides and sometimes additional background information to help with reading comprehension
