Instructional Ideas

  • Extend the activity into an analytic essay, or use the worksheet to compare and contrast Gregor at different parts of the book
Classroom Considerations

  • Consider directing class members to record passages that reflect specific themes or character traits, and then ask them to interpret the excerpts through this lens
  • While the lesson is titled "Multicultural Strategy," the only multicultural aspect is that it is differentiated for English learners
