This week we focused mainly on a story titled "The Lottery" by Shirley Jackson. The story begins with a small village, of about 300 people, and every June 27th the same tradition will be held. What this tradition holds? A wooden box, a black mark, and one death.
On Monday, we talked about each classmate's article, or idea, of a connection to The Lottery. For homework we were assigned to pick one paragraph from a critique's article of The Lottery that we found most interesting. The next day, we did an activity that let each person share their paragraph and the others would have 1 minute to explain why the person chose that paragraph separately. Later in the week we discussed some words from The lottery, that we were unfamiliar with.
Apart from The Lottery, we learned, or recapped, on the 3 types of irony (Verbal, Dramatic, and Situational). We also took a look at some prefixes and suffixes such as per, co, trans, and plex.
