Analyzing Kate Chopin's "A Pair of Silk Stockings"

This site provides strategies for middle-school readers to analyze a text. What I want to get from this site is the ability to convey how listening to a text and reading a text can help both understand that text and form original ideas for a critical essay based off of this text. Listening to the text in this format aids the reader in creating her or his own material in response to the text. Sometimes the aid of technology can be extremely beneficial in reading analysis. This site is beneficial for the middle school reader.

What to do with this link:

After reading and listening to the text, what notes would you take on the text? What did you think was important from the text and did you think there was any lesson to be learned from it? Did it seem like a text that should be taken as is (literally) or did it seem like a text with a deeper metaphorical meaning, meaning that the words really represent something else. Let's see what you think!
