The Golden Touch Day 1 Multiple Choice Practice
A multiple choice practice set for 10th graders on Nathaniel Hawthorne's short story "The Golden Touch," focusing on vocabulary in context such as "burnished" and "lustrous," with each item tied to a specific paragraph so students can return to the text.

Teacher Guide & Tips
- Use this as independent practice after a whole-class read of the Day 1 section of "The Golden Touch," with about 20 to 30 minutes for the set and a short debrief on any items students missed.
- Discussion question: How does the context around "burnished" or "lustrous" help you decide the meaning, even if you don't know the word right away?
- Scaffold for struggling readers: Have them underline the sentence containing the target word and reread the surrounding lines before choosing an answer, and pair them with a peer for the first two or three items.
- Extension for advanced students: Ask them to explain why Hawthorne chose these particular images of light and reflection, and how they connect to King Midas's developing greed.
- Estimated time: About 25 minutes for the full set, plus 5 to 10 minutes for review.
