Twelfth Night Close Reading Analysis Worksheets Bundle with Answer Keys
Challenge high school students to go beyond basic reading comprehension and exercise close reading analysis skills while engaging with Twelfth Night by William Shakespeare. Each close reading activity is rigorous enough for students to find deeper meaning in the text, yet convenient enough for teachers to efficiently gather data on their students' textual analysis skills. Included are seventeen close reading worksheets, each addressing an individual scene, and answer keys. Materials are delivered in Word Document and PDF formats. (Alternatively, a Google Drive bundle option is available.) By the end of the play, students will:
Identify what the text states explicitly and implicitly
Define complex words as they are used in the text
Examine nuances in words with similar meanings
Discern the intended effect of figurative language in context
Explore how complex characters think, behave, develop, and interact
Apply knowledge of literary devices including metaphor, simile, hyperbole, allusion, malapropism, personification, paradox, invective, oxymoron, symbolism, dramatic irony, situational irony, verbal irony, and more
Determine the tone of given passages
Discern the functions of given passages
Support claims and inferences with sound reasoning and relevant textual evidence
Write about Shakespearean drama with clarity, accuracy, and precision
Materials in this bundle may facilitate small-group discussions in which students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development. Using these resources for structured guidance, students will improve their ability to present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly and convincingly.
Materials are available for teaching a variety of Shakespeare’s plays:
