Engage your students in digital close reading and literary analysis! This digital close reading assignment for “The Necklace” is aligned with the common core state standards (reading literature and writing) and requires students to go back to selected passages from the text to read and closely analyze the conflict in the story (conflict and theme).

Students will then be able to write a one-paragraph literary response that includes quotations and analysis for each literary element: conflict and theme
In this assignment, students will complete these tasks:
Read the short story
Go back and closely read selected passages
