Monday, Nov. 9 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: Post-Modern Review (look at your notes, add if necessary)
*Literary Concept: Dystopia
*Somewhere in Notes: paraphrase the definition on the previous slide
*Look at your Dystopia notes, then write in your Writer’s Notebook: Why would dystopias be a literary concept often used in the Post-Modern era?
*Was “The Lottery” a dystopia? What examples of dystopia can you think of?
*“Harrison Bergeron”
*Annotations/Close read: dystopian characteristics, Post-Modern characteristics, society and individual
*Questions on “Harrison Bergeron” in to me (if finished, if not, due tomorrow)
***In WN, other than the fact that “Harrison Bergeron” fits in the dystopian definition, how can we see Post-Modern characteristics?  Give specific pieces of textual evidence to support your answer. THIS IS HOMEWORK IF YOU DON’T GET IT DONE IN CLASS

*If you finish, reading time (or journaling) for BwF (at any point when you are finished and we haven’t moved on)
