Periods 2, 5, & 6 on Tuesday, September 20, 2016 and Periods 1 & 7 on Wednesday, September 21, 2016
Students read and signed a classmate's ending to Saki's "The Interlopers."
Students then constructed an accordion book out of construction paper and tape to use for a reader-response journal.
Students were given multiple options to respond to each of the stories they have read so far:
"The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell
"The Five Orange Pips" by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle
"The Rain Came" by Grace Ogot
"Our Dead, Your Dead" by Kamila Shamsie
"The Interlopers" by Saki
Reader-Response Options
-write a mini review (your opinion about whether others would enjoy reading the story and why)
-sketch a scene or character from the story
-write an alternate scene/ending to the story
-make a list of your favorite quotes from the story and explain why they are meaningful to you
- make a list of new words to you and their meanings (minimum of 4 different words)
-create a collage of a scene or character from the story
While students worked on their journal entries (at least one entry needed to be completed by the end of class), Mr. Stone distributed materials for the Interloper plot poster project.
Homework: Read Shirley Jackson's "One Ordinary Day with Peanuts." Be prepared for a quiz over the story.
