Today we will play a vocabulary review game. We will then finish reading "The Most Dangerous Game" and we will discuss the story and finish the "short story outlines". Tomorrow, we will begin to write a sequel.
HOMEWORK for Tonight: Finish reading (if we did not do so in close), and begin working on your Literary Terms project (see below).
FOR NEST TUESDAY
Literary Terms - Video/Slide Presentation

Unit Learning goal: Students will demonstrate knowledge of the structure of fiction by breaking down the essential building blocks (literary elements) of short stories by plot, character development, figurative language (metaphor, symbolism, irony), point of view, connecting these blocks to the overall meaning (or theme) of the text, and final writing their own short story using these structures.
Blog Entry #1
Imagine that you are Sanger Rainsford and have escaped from Ship-Trap Island. You have been accused of murder—the murder of General Zaroff and his servant, Ivan. Using facts (evidence) from the text (this means you should summarize and quote from the text) you must write a defense speech that will prove your innocence. The speech must be at least ten sentences long. Remember, you are trying to prove your innocence so be as detailed as possible and use evidence (actual facts and occurrences from the story, the text) to clear your name. You may even call forth eyewitnesses if you so choose.
This needs to be at least ten sentences long and needs to continue the story in some way or fashion keeping truthful to the original.
