Tuesday, April 4 Agenda

*Bell Ringer: WN: Do you believe that Perkins-Gillman achieved her purpose through this story? (What do you believe her purpose was, why yes or no?) –discuss the words on board with partner
*Literary Concepts: foreshadowing, satire
*Satire: a technique where foolish customs/traditions/ideas are ridiculed for the purpose of improving society [or at least to bring attention to the idea/tradition/custom and its foolishness], 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, satire, as well as other basic annotations (highlight/underline AND write what you are thinking with it)
*3. (on sheet) Looking back into the story, how do you feel that Tessie Hutchinson was singled out by the author?
*When done, grab the questions and when someone else is also done, work with them as your partner (if you want).
*Discuss with partner, answer questions together, turn in when done (to me)
*Shirley Jackson’s “biography of the story”

*Read through by tomorrow
