  1. Literature: Wednesday, March 20, 2013 Handouts: * None Homework: * Read AR book 20 - 30 minutes daily & record progress * In-class assignment—Do one of the following:1) “In the Fog,” Lit book p. 85, #1 – 5 [Five answers] 2) “The Hitchhiker,” Lit book p. 104, #1 – 4 [Five answers, #2 is a), b)] If/when we read this aloud, what dramatic role would you prefer to have?  Assignments Due: * In-class assignment— You should have finished reading one of the two plays named above.

  2. Today’s Goal: Finish reading one of two play selections today (Lit book pp. 74 – 84 or Lit book pp. 86 – 103). Outcomes: Use clues from stage directions to imagine the action taking place in a play. Define the term “flashback” and describe two different ways it can be used in literature. Make inferences about what characters may be thinking and feeling. Make inferences about conflicts in the story. Continually predict what you think will happen. Analyze a play to identify elements of suspense (anything in the play that built suspense). Give “voice” to characters by dramatically reading their lines.

  3. Starter #1: By now you should have finished reading the play you selected: Choice #1—In the Fog (pp.74 – 85) Choice #2—The Hitchhiker (pp. 86 – 103) At the beginning of your in-class assignment (from the Lit book), write down: * Which play you read * What role you would like to have in a read aloud of that play. During class today, complete your Lit book assignment, p. 85 or p. 104, depending on which play you read. If you finish early, begin reading the other play to see what it was about.

  4. Starter #2: Remember to read not only the character’s lines, but also the stage directions and explanations contained in the brackets. Try to imagine the characters and the action taking place. When you finish reading the play, ask yourself, “If I were asked to take the role of one of those characters, which one would I like to be?” We won’t act out the play, but at some point, we will read aloud the parts, and through your dramatic reading, you will bring life to these characters. If you finish early, you may want to start reading the other play, just to see what it’s about. . . .
