Juniors

 

Monday- EASTER MONDAY....ZOO TRIP!!!!

Tuesday- Students will read the article "Monstrous Acts and Little Murders" to find out more about the personal sources of inspiration for Shirley Jackson's short story, "The Lottery". They'll answer critical questions about the article, and participate in classroom discussion.

 

Wednesday- Students will pick a "monstrous act" that you've witnessed (either big or small) in your life and write an autobiographical or fictional narrative based on that experience. Your narrative must contain a clear point of view, setting, defined themes, literary devices of your choosing, and a few developed characters. If you think it sounds like a good idea, go ahead and illustrate your story. You can use photos, collages, artwork, magazine clippings—whatever works. But whether you illustrate or not, please make sure your story is in final copy format (edited, revised, and as error-free as possible) when you're done.

 

Thursday- Students will share their stories in small groups:)
