In the third video of a six part series, we are taking teachers through the process of mastering the teaching strategy of close reading. With each part of the series, we will take a look at a commonly used author's choice techniques and pair two or more texts together to see the different ways that authors use that specific technique.

In this training, we're taking a closer look at metaphor and simile and how those show up in Amber McBride's novel We Are all So Good at Smiling. Learn how to guide students in close reading and literary analysis with practical techniques and insights.

Join us as we delve into the power of literary techniques and their impact on storytelling and character development.
