Objective: recognize distinctive and shared characteristics of cultures through reading; understand cultural background to literary texts, grade level vocabulary, and listening for understanding.
- Bell Work: The story you will read today is by Shirley Jackson and takes place in a small rural village. The people are gathered for the drawing of a lottery. Consider what you know about small towns. What are some characteristics of a small town or community? What is it like living in a small town? When you think of a lottery, what do you expect to take place? How would you define a lottery? Have you or do you know someone who has participated in a lottery? What was the outcome?
- I know there are a lot of questions, but answer all of them and remember to use at least two SAT words and because it is a new six weeks the minimum is now 80 words.
- We are about to start talking about how literary genres are connected. One way they are connected is by a "Universal Truth." Universal Truth is a truth that applies to all places and all things.
- Read this article that I found interesting that helps explain how literature connects all of us.
- Then, read "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson
- I would encourage you to take notes (handwritten, on your own paper)
- Be ready for a quiz tomorrow over "The Lottery." (you may use your handwritten notes on the quiz)
- With a partner or two, work on these discussion questions.
- If there is time at the end of class, you may read silently or play Free Rice.
- Reminders:
- I miss you and, as always, BE GOOD FOR THE SUB!
- Remember that I can see your computers from my training (the perks of technology). Stay off of games, YouTube, and anything else that you know I would NOT approve of.
- Feel free to tweet me @AvalosEnglish or email me if you have any questions!!!!
- W24 DRE is due tomorrow!
