"The Ransom of Red Chief" Theme/Irony Constructed Response Practice plus KEY

This PDF contains student handouts with answer keys and teacher notes.

The handouts prepare students for writing a short constructed response on theme and irony. Students will read a writing prompt, create and critique theme statements, practice embedding quotes, and combine all of the elements together for a complete constructed response. There are two graphic organizers and a sheet with framed sentences for each key part of the writing piece.

There are detailed teacher notes, which explain how to implement this lesson, as well as answer keys for theme and embedding quotations.
