Description

Both teachers and students love these unique and challenging critical thinking activities for The Veldt by Ray Bradbury. Students will plot the story, design a sales brochure for a HappyLife Home, write a scene from the house’s point of view, and much more.

Here’s What’s Included:

  • Plot Diagram – Can your students complete a plot diagram for “The Veldt?”
  • Design a Brochure – Students will create a sales brochure or flyer for the HappyLife Home, including features, benefits, testimonials, common issues, troubleshooting, and product warnings.
  • Too Much of Anything… – Students take George Hadley’s thoughts to heart and generate four additional examples of when too much of anything becomes a bad thing.
  • Analyze the Setting – Students unpack the setting of the HappyLife Home and the setting of the Nursery. Then students consider how the settings impacted the characters, plot, and conflict.
  • Rewrite the Scene – The HappyLife Home does it all. George suspects it even has feelings. If that’s the case, invite your students to rewrite a scene from the house’s point of view.
  • Compare & Contrast – Watch a film adaptation of “The Veldt” and compare it to the short story.
  • All you need to do to use these resources is hit print or assign on your digital learning platform. Everything is ready to go!
