Analysing an opening chapter

A close text analysis summary table and an overview table, designed for analysing the effectiveness of an opening chapter of a novel, although the resource would work equally well for summarising an unseen fiction extract.
The resource comprises two tables:
- a list of stylistic features for which students find quotations
- a list of key features (author, title, characters, events etc.) for which students identify the key facts.
The tables would also work well when promoting whole-school independent reading initiatives or for World Book Day.

I will use the opening chapter resource when looking at new texts. A great resource overall, thank you.
