Break down Where the Red Fern Grows by Wilson Rawls into manageable chunks by focusing on plot points and literary elements in specific chapters. This resource is all about the first chapter, and asks pupils to use complete sentences to respond to a series of questions about plot points, point of view, and simile. Assign the sheet for homework or go over the questions as a class.
