BLOCK C & D - HOMEWORK FOR WEDNESDAY NOVEMBER 10: COMPLETE THE DRAMATIC ARC AND THEME ASSIGNMENT FOR SHIRLEY JACKSON'S "THE LOTTERY.
TODAY WILL WILL FOCUS ON "THE LOTTERY" BY Shirley Jackson
Please go to ONE NOTE and copy/paste "Dramatic Arc and Theme for "The Lottery" into your ONE NOTE.
The Lottery
Shirley Jackson's The Lottery is a memorable and terrifying masterpiece, fueled by a tension that creeps up on you slowly without any clear indication of why. This is just a townful of people, after all, choosing their numbers for the annual lottery. What's there to be scared of?
OUR GOAL IS:
To read it
To watch it
Take notes (visible thinking and annotation),
Identify the key components of the dramatic arc (exactly like we did for "Harrison Bergeron")
Come up with a theme you can defend with evidence
