relatively short science fiction story.\u00a0 It details a potentially-apocalyptic astrological event in a creative way.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HG Wells\u2019 The Star opens with the observation of a strange star-like body in the sky.\u00a0 What seems to be a new star in the celestial sky is at first exciting and celebrated.\u00a0 However, it quickly becomes serious as the star has a devastating pull on the planets in its path of destruction.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Soon, Earth is one of those planets.\u00a0 The gravitational pull of the new celestial body has devastating consequences on earth, ranging from a rise in temperature, earthquakes, and catastrophic floods.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">When you are on the edge of your seat wondering, \u201cWhere is HG Wells The Star\u201d going?\u201d Earth narrowly escapes.\u00a0 The story concludes with a creative narrative viewpoint from Martians as the reader realizes how insignificant humans \u2014 and our supposed tragedies \u2014 really are in the grand scheme of the universe.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0f08473 e-flex e-con-boxed e-con e-parent\"

story working in any secondary English (or Science!) classroom.\u00a0 As long as you have the proper scaffolding.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">For my seniors, I assign HG Wells The Star first as an independent reading task.\u00a0 I also incorporate comprehension questions and open-ended questions as well.\u00a0 Since these are seniors, we dive right into more complex questions.\u00a0 For example, \u201chow would you summarize the central theme of the text?\u201d\u00a0 \u201cWhich piece of textual evidence best exemplifies the narrator\u2019s sarcasm?\u201d \u201cHow does the author use juxtaposition to develop his overall theme?\u201d<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Once students have finished reading the text, we progress into a small group discussion.\u00a0 We primarily target those open-ended questions I mentioned.\u00a0 Here are a few of them we typically cover:<\/span><\/p><ul><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does each \u201ccharacter\u201d respond to the impending apocalyptic event?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">How does the \u201cfrom Earth\u201d narrative point of view compare and contrast with the Martian point of view at the end of the text?<\/span><\/li><li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">What role does religion play in our understanding of the universe? What about our role within the universe?<\/span><\/li><\/ul><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You could do so much with this text!\u00a0 I love that it\u2019s relatively short but still morally complex.\u00a0 That sets the stage for rich discussion to follow.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element
