As discussed in class, you simply split the page in half and create a t-chart. The goal is to search for quotes that show theme, foreshadowing, characterization, symbolism, etc.
For the short story by James Hurst, "The Scarlet Ibis," you might want some extra support. In order to help you, the 9th grade team created questions. Your goal is to then, as you read, find the quotes that answer the question.
Questions:
How is Doodle different?
Why is Doodle’s nickname better than his real name?
What feelings does the narrator have about his brother?
What is the source of the narrator’s pride?
What does the author want the reader to learn about pride?
How do the brothers’ goals differ?
What events happen to change life for the narrator, his brother, and the rest of his family?
How does the arrival ad sudden death of the bird affect different family members?
What will happen to Doodle?
What does the narrator learn about himself?
