Reading his Nobel Prize Acceptance speech will do just that. To accommodate scaffolding, I have included one version that caters to teaching persuasion and rhetorical analysis and a second that asks questions pertaining to

James and the Giant Peach Test, Chapters 11-22 and 23-39
This document contains two tests I created to test deeper thinking among my small group / guided reading groups.
It is designed in the style of state assessments, which usually require much more thinking than simply "what happened in the story" questions.
After reading the book and giving smaller assignments along the way, give this assessment as a final checkpoint for each section.
If you haven't already downloaded it, I posted a test for chapters 1-10 for free.
