=== I've finally re-cooped from that nasty stomach flu. Alas, I am gone today to a meeting at the district office. Time is precious, so I need you guys to be responsible and REALLY DO the work I'm leaving for you today! ===

=Task 1: Read "The Lottery"= We'll be having a GRADED fishbowl discussion next class. To participate, you MUST have READ the story and prepared NOTES.
 * Read the story! (The sub has a copy to hand out to you.)

=Task 2: Prepare Notes for Discussion= You need to prepare these notes individually. If everyone generates the same ideas, then everyone will have the same ideas to discuss. For our fishbowl discussion to be effective, you each need to have different, fresh ideas to bring to the discussion.

Keep in mind the literary terms (symbolism, irony, theme) you defined last class. Could you generate some questions--more specific to the story?
 * Complete ALL of the notes hand-out.
 * You will use these notes in our discussion.
 * Hand in the notes to the sub. I will grade the notes you complete TODAY. Then, I will return the notes to you in class Wednesday for you to use in our discussion.

If you do not finish for some reason, you should hand in the notes (as I'll be grading your effort in class today), but you should finish them (on paper) at home so that you'll be prepared for the graded discussion next class.

If you finish, you may read. Have a good weekend! Go Pioneers: beat Blytheville!
