*Bell Ringer: WN: Pick one
of the words on the board that you believe fits with “The Lottery” and explain
how you believe this story shows society’s impact on the individual being the
word you chose (again, textual evidence is always a plus). Bring up to
me and grab a “Biography of the Story” from the stool, then read it and answer
the questions below.
*Questions on
the “Biography of the Story”
*Would you have
imagined that much of an emotional response from people based on the story? Why
yes or no?
*On the back,
you see three brackets with ‘questions’ in the margin, answer those.
*What is your
reaction to the end of her ‘biography’?
*Small Group
Discussion of “The Lottery”
*“The Lottery”
continued: Respond to this quote in your writer’s notebook, after discussing it
with your group: “Explaining just what I had hoped the story to say is very
difficult. I suppose, I hoped, by setting a particularly brutal ancient rite in
the present and in my own village to shock the story's readers with a graphic
dramatization of the pointless violence and general inhumanity in their own
lives.” –Shirley Jackson
*Post
information on the blog based on what group thinks
*Read book for BwF
while waiting for all to be done (at any point)
