“The Gift of the Magi”

by O. Henry

Many gifts are unappreciated. Describe the best gift you have ever received to someone who has never seen it. Include at least two reasons it is the best gift you ever received.

Analyze the Prompt

On your paper, write the following:

Now look at the prompt again. Record the:

Topic: (What is the main idea?)

Audience: (Who will read your writing?)

Key words: (What are important words from the prompt?)

Stop and Think

Name the gift in a circle on your paper. Surround the circle with reasons and details about why your gift was great, such as the gift itself, who gave it, the occasion on which it was given, why it was given, etc.

Pick and Choose

Pick two or more reasons that your gift was great . Add or delete details surrounding those reasons as needed.

Plan it Out

Create a simple T-Chart:

Plan It Out

On your chart, put the big ideas in the yellow column and details about each big idea in the pink column .

Your chart should look like this:

Topic Sentence

Draw the following chart on your paper. Leave room to write a sentence in each box.

In the SDS box, write a Simple Declarative Sentence. Just state your main idea simply and clearly.

Example : The best gift I ever received was my frog picture.

In the # box, write a number sentence . Include a number word, either specific (like two ) or general (like several , many , or a few ).

Example : My frog picture is the best gift I ever received for two reasons.

In the ? box, write question sentence . This cannot be answered “yes” or “no,” but should be answered by the big ideas.

Example : Why is the frog picture on my wall my best gift ever?

In the S, S box, write a Situation, Stance sentence. Starting with a word like although , when , or if , give the situation first and then your main idea.

Example : If I had to choose one gift that stands out from the rest, it would be my frog picture.

After writing your four sentences:

• Choose your favorite as the topic sentence . Label it T .
• Choose another (but not the question) as the conclusion sentence Label it C .
• Highlight both green .

The Gift of the Magi - Christmas Story - PowerPoint Presentation with Questions

Also included in

Description

O. Henry's Christmas classic, "The Gift of the Magi" is a timeless holiday story with a beautiful message about love, sacrifice, and appreciation.... This engaging PowerPoint presentation recounts the story and enhances it with beautiful graphics. The presentation includes compelling questions to prompt class discussion.

• Kids love to be read to, no matter how old they are.
• I show this PowerPoint to my 11th graders, and they are attentive and engaged by the story and the graphics even if it's the day before the holiday break.
• I've placed a paragraph on each slide and adorned the slide with graphics, one relevant to the text and one a Victorian Christmas image appropriate to the era during which the story was written.
• The background is a holiday red and green and the font is a clear, large Tahoma, easily read from the back of the classroom.
• At the end of the story, there are about 13 questions about character, theme, and allusion (the title).
• This story should be a Christmas tradition and this presentation is a lovely way to have students read or listen to the beautiful tale of love and sacrifice.

A buyer commented , "Beautiful, just beautiful! Now all of my students will enjoy this story as we near our winter break. Thank you."
