  1. ”The Necklace” – Guy de Maupassant

  2. Do Now – Partner Rally Robin • With your shoulder partner, brainstorm a list of circumstances under which people may decide not to tell the truth. • Each partner should come up with one example, then the next one will give an example. You will only give one at a time. • Write your list on the white boards.

  3. Share Your Ideas • Share your list with the rest of your pod • Did you have any similarities? Differences? • Discuss the likely consequences for each of the cases you thought of. • Do any of the circumstances justify or excuse hiding the truth?

  4. Characterization through Dialogue • Dialogue: conversation between 2 or more characters • One of the most important ways to reveal traits about a character • Characters speak in a distinctive manner • Vocabularies (the words they say) • Favorite words/phrases • Tendencies for speaking for a long time

  5. Characterization through Dialogue • Readers can tell a lot about characters through what they say and how they say it • Look at dialogue tags • Ex: “he said” • “she yelped” • “the teacher demanded” • “my brother pleaded” • Also look at sentences just before or after the dialogue • EX: Sharon slammed the fridge door. “Do you really mean that?”
