This product can be used with Peardeck, Nearpod, or as a regular whole group assignment, the students would just need to answer their questions on a separate sheet of paper. My 8th graders enjoyed this. We covered author's purpose, word choice, mood and tone, and comparing/contrasting different text structures. (RL.2.4, RL.2.5, RL.2.6)This product includes a link on the last slide to the Venn Diagram assignment for comparing/contrasting the excerpt "Thanks for the Knife" to the Cornucopia scene
