What activity is most appropriate for an advanced 6th grade class reading Demaupassant's "The Necklace" according to reader responses theory?

Elicit students' experiences relevant to the story
Assign multiple choice quizzes
Conduct silent reading sessions
Use graphic organizers exclusively

The correct answer is: Elicit students' experiences relevant to the story

The most appropriate activity for an advanced 6th grade class reading Maupassant's "The Necklace," based on reader response theory, is to elicit students' experiences relevant to the story. Reader response theory emphasizes the importance of the reader's interpretation and personal connection to the text. By encouraging students to share their own experiences and feelings related to the themes and events in "The Necklace," the teacher helps them engage more deeply with the material. This activity promotes critical thinking and allows students to see multiple perspectives, fostering a richer understanding of the text's nuances. While other activities, such as silent reading sessions or graphic organizers, may aid comprehension, they do not prioritize the personal interpretations and connections that reader response theory champions. Additionally, assigning multiple-choice quizzes focuses on specific content recall rather than encouraging personal engagement and interpretation, which is central to reader response theory.
