Presentation transcript:

Bellringer Nov. 19 and 20 In your notebook, write the question and the response: What would be an appropriate punishment in today’s culture for a person like Miss Strangeworth who is so mean to others?

Today’s Agenda We’re picking up where we left off. Finish reading the text and writing your 10 words or fewer summaries for every paragraph. I’ll check these summaries and then start you on what’s next.

INDIVIDUALLY Complete the character traits web for Mrs. Strangeworth. Use specific words and details from the story to complete the web. These specific words will help you understand how Jackson uses her words to help create her theme. Use your 10 word summaries to help you pinpoint where in the text you should go to find those specific words and details. INDIVIDUALLY

NEW!!! – Use the after reading questions to help your understanding of the text.

How did Shirley Jackson use repetition of words and phrases or unusual word choice to help show Miss Strangeworth’s characterization? Go through your notes and identify those repeated words or those unusual or unexpected words. These words also help us see Miss Strangeworth’s character. Individually

What seems to be Shirley Jackson’s attitude towards Miss Strangeworth What seems to be Shirley Jackson’s attitude towards Miss Strangeworth? What words and phrases show us this attitude? (you did this as the ticket out for last class, but examine your response to see if it makes sense). Find proof in the story for your inference. Individually

LEQ 1: How does Shirley Jackson use characterization and word choice to illustrate the difference between perception and reality in “A Possibility of Evil”? Use your notes to help you answer this question. Use specific quotations too and be sure you explain why each quotation or example helps to show your answer to the question.
