Common Core W.8.2 homework
"Posted" by John David Anderson - Novel Unit
"Posted" by John David Anderson is a page turner book, and I created this unit so that students would have some responsibility at chapter ends but would not be delayed long. Consequently, for every chapter I have three (mostly multiple part) questions, similar to exit tickets but a little longer and more detailed. I broke up the story into four units: Ch.1 to 5; Ch.6 to 10; Ch.7 to 15, Ch. 16 to 20. It should do well for a read-aloud, all-class reading, or small groups. Include

Short stories with comprehension questions, Tell-Tale Heart, ELA activities CUSTOMER REVIEW: I appreciate this seller's application of legal, moral & philosophical implications of the story, as well as references to outside works and real-life situations (as she does in all of her products!). This is yet another of her products that I will use every time I read this story with a class--very helpful in taking literary analysis to a slightly higher level than an ordinary discussion would do.
