1 Flowers for Algernon Part Two SHORT STORY Chapter 1, Grade 8
2 Literary Focus Irony What is ironic about Dr. Strauss s reminder? Subplots What is Charlie s relationship with the two doctors? How has Charlie s heightened intelligence created difficulties in his relationship with Miss Kinnian?
3 Literary Focus Plot Irony What kind of unexpected complications has the operation produced for Charlie? What is ironic about Charlie s plan to review Vrostadt s equations on Levels of Semantic Progression?
4 Literary Focus Parallel Episodes How does the dishwasher s experience here resemble episodes from Charlie s own life?
5 Reading Skills Making Inferences Why is Charlie furious at himself as well as the smirking crowd?
6 Reading Skills Using Context Clues: What does infuriated mean? How can you combine clues in the text with what you already know to figure out the meaning of the word?
7 Literary Focus Character Why does Charlie decide to work to increase human intelligence? In what way is his decision a step forward in his personal development?
8 Literary Focus Parallel Episodes The change in Algernon s behavior may have deeper implications for Charlie. Speculate about what is happening to Algernon. How does this affect Charlie s life?
9 Literary Focus Plot What complication has made Charlie so conscious of time? Character What is driving Charlie?
10 Reading Skills Drawing Conclusions Will Charlie remain highly intelligent? How do you know?
11 Vocabulary Development Connotations In addition to denotations, or dictionary meanings, words have connotations. Connotations are the feelings or ideas associated with words. Explain the connotations of the names Charles and Charlie.
12 Reading Skills Making Inferences Why do you think Charlie feels that he must not become emotional at this time?
13 Literary Focus Resolution How is the experiment involving Algernon concluding? Foreshadowing Why is Charlie so upset when Algernon dies? What does this event suggest for Charlie?
14 Literary Focus Parallel Episodes How does Charlie s behavior mirror that behavior of Algernon at an earlier point in the story?
15 Reading Skills Understanding Allusion John Milton ( ) published his epic masterpiece Paradise Lost in The poem begins: Of man s first disobedience, and the fruit Of that forbidden tree whose mortal taste Brought death into the world, and all our woe, With loss of Eden
16 Reading Skills Understanding Allusion Although it is passed off with an air of casualness in Flowers for Algernon, this allusion to Milton s poem is hardly accidental. The author suggests an analogy between Adam and Eve s eating of fruit from the tree of knowledge and Charlie s gaining intelligence through surgery.
17 Reading Skills Using Context Clues What is the meaning of the word senility? What words or phrases help you define the word?
18 Reading Skills Figurative Language Visualize the image of something slipping away like sand through my fingers. This expression is not to be taken literally. How does this simile help readers understand what is happening to Charlie s mental powers?
19 Reading Skills Finding Details What signs do you see of Charlie s increasing decline? Speculating Why might Charlie think of his parents at this point in the story?
20 Literary Focus Parallel Episodes How is Charlie s current situation similar to his situation as a child living with his parents?
21 Extra Support Using Graphic Aids Work in groups of four to create a time line to document Charlie s deterioration beginning on June 5. Include the progress report dates along with the signs of deterioration they record.
22 Literary Focus Subplot Why does Charlie send Miss Kinnian away?
23 Reading Skills Interpreting Idioms Having guts means having courage. Identify people you admire for having guts.
24 Content-Area Connections Culture: Quiz Shows Starting in the 1930s on American radio and currently viewed TV, quiz show programs, now usually called game shows, have been broadcasted. These game shows test people s memory, intelligence, skill, or luck. What are current game shows?
25 Literary Focus Irony Why is it ironic that Joe Carp and Frank Reilly act as Charlie s protectors?
26 Literary Focus Resolution Describe and evaluate the story s ending. Have all the subplots and loose ends been tied up? What more do you want to know?
