For many high school readers, Gothic fiction, fantasy, and horror are genres that maximize engagement with literature. "Cool Air" by H.P. Lovecraft is a compelling short story that features elements consistent with those genres: noxious chemicals, medical experiments, desperate attempts to achieve immortality, and more. With this bundle of high school resources covering "Cool Air," English teachers will save valuable time at home without sacrificing rigor in the classroom. Included are the following: a multiple choice, plot-based quiz; a worksheet composed of rigorous close reading questions; the public domain narrative; and answer keys. Materials are delivered in printable Word Document and PDF formats. (Alternatively, a Google Drive option is available.)

By completing the quiz, students will demonstrate knowledge of the following:

  • The narrator's reaction to cool air

  • The narrator's philosophical beliefs

  • The reason the narrator moves from apartment to apartment

  • The narrator's treatment of his lodgemates

  • Peculiar smells that permeate the building

  • Mrs. Herrero's role in the story

  • How the narrator came to know Dr. Muñoz

  • The narrator's initial perception of Dr. Muñoz

  • Dr. Muñoz's beliefs concerning the power of human will

  • Dr. Muñoz's medical practices

  • The reason Dr. Muñoz becomes a "gruesome companion"

  • Dr. Muñoz's independence

  • A habit Dr. Muñoz develops

  • The consequences of a broken refrigeration system

  • Define complex words and phrases as they are used in context

These resources may serve as the basis for small-group discussions. Through these discussions, students decode language and pose/respond to questions relating to plot, broad topics, and character development, demonstrating an ability to analyze how complex characters transform and advance the plot and themes by applying logic and citing compelling, meaningful textual evidence. They will also evaluate their peers' reasoning and use of rhetoric to advance claims, clarifying or challenging unclear ideas. Using this resource for structured guidance, students will present information, conclusions, and supporting textual evidence clearly, concisely, and appropriately, thereby helping their peers comprehend their thinking.
