How can you read a character's tone? What about a narrator's tone? Analyze Karen Russell's "St. Lucy's Home for Girls Raised by Wolves" with a lesson that focuses on how word choice can change tone and how tone can affect the development of a story. After reading the second and third sections of the story, learners complete a writing prompt with evidence supporting their analysis of Claudette's tone.

- You can find the text on page 258 of the attached module overview, not in this resource
- The text is broken up by page numbers from its original publication, so you might want to consider retyping it for reading ease
