Harbor Me Chapter Questions
The comprehension guide and literary analysis resources provide a framework for students to deeply engage with every chapter grouping of Harbor Me. The 20 assignments – 10 comprehension and 10 literary analysis – are designed to not only to have students practice essential literary skills but also demonstrate their comprehension of the text. In having students demonstrate their understanding of the novel across both dimensions, the resource allows for differentiation and flexible implementation.
Harbor Me Close Readings

Each assignment also requires students to use textual evidence to support their claims. The resources could supply homework, facilitate guided reading groups, or stimulate whole class literacy discussions for each chapter grouping. You can choose the purpose that best suits your students and your classroom.
