Wednesday, April 8 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: In WN, finish this statement and then support yourself in a paragraph: Perkins-Gillman proves that society’s impact on the individual is    because   . Be as thorough as you can be, textual evidence is always a plus.
*Discuss “The Yellow Wallpaper”
*Small group, discuss comments, discussion questions and then summaries** –what is the story about, how does it show social issues (the role of women) and additional questions
***summary of your interpretation of the story, especially the ending of the story- share with your group after you’ve discussed annotations and questions
*Do you believe that Perkins-Gillman achieved her purpose through this story? (What do you believe her purpose was, why yes or no?)
*Literary Concepts: foreshadowing, satire
*Satire: a technique where foolish customs/traditions/ideas are ridiculed for the purpose of improving society, it is often accomplished through humor or wit, but isn’t always (it can be abrasive or bitterly critical)
*“The Lottery”
*Read through, annotating ideas of society and individual as well as other basic annotations
*3. Looking back into the story, how do you feel that Tessie Hutchinson was singled out by the author to be the ‘winner’ of the lottery?
*When done, grab the questions and when someone else is also done, work with them as your partner.
