Teach your 9th-grade students how to analyze and appreciate literary fiction with Reading Literature.
This book contains 7 short stories and 5 poems, all of which are annotated with important information to help students understand the texts.
Multiple short-answer questions for each story and poem require students to analyze literary elements like figurative language, structure, and tone and help them explain the effects of these elements on the meaning of the work as a whole.
Every question helps your students achieve the high levels of reading proficiency the Common Core State Standards demand, and the questions in the Teacher's Edition are labeled with the Standards they meet.
