Analyzing James Hurst's "The Scarlet Ibis"

Wednesday 1 October 2014 for Periods 5 & 6 and Thursday 2 October 2014 for Periods 2 & 7

Quiz: James Hurst's "The Scarlet Ibis"

Journal Entry: "Blame"

Do you blame the narrator for Doodle's death? Explain why or why not. (Students may look back at their books for supporting details.)
Extra credit for students who write this journal entry in cursive. The entry needs to be at least twelve lines long.

Students worked in small groups to analyze one of the major elements of the story: characters, plot, setting, point of view, or theme.

Each student needed to record his/her answers on the story analysis sheet he/she received from the teacher.

Students will share their findings during the next class period.

Homework: Read Cynthia Rylant's "Checkouts" (282-285). There will be a quiz at the beginning of the next period.
