A Monkey, Bob Dylan, and Television: A Quest for Meaning in Three Stories
This study guide traces the themes, symbols, and allusions of the following three stories:
"In Time Which Made A Monkey of Us All" by Grace Paley
"Distances" by Sherman Alexie
"Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been?" by Joyce Carol Oates
In my experience, these are the easiest stories to use when teaching close reading skills because they are teeming with symbols and allusions to interpret.
This activity is also ideal for teaching students how to respond to OGT and ACT extended response questions because each question is constructed with OGT performance verbs.
