Goals: To practice close reading strategies and analyze the effect of literary techniques on a piece of writing.
AGENDA:
1) Quick homework check (vocabulary sheet) If you were absent, see yesterday's post for the handout.
2) RATS video clip
Jaws clip
3) Listen to/follow along as we read "Three Skeleton Key". I will be pausing to ask questions, point out things, etc. Notice any of your vocabulary words? :) We will focus on:
suspense (How does the author create it?)
irony
foreshadowing
allusion
imagery
(I love the narrator's creepy voice)
Here is the story:
"Three Skeleton Key"
Plot Terms and literary techniques (You might want to print this out and keep in your notebook)
TO DO BY TOMORROW
Read through the story again. Pick two examples of foreshadowing, imagery, or irony from the story. Copy down the page number and quote from the story. You should pick the literary element that you think MOST helps to create suspense in the story!
