"The Veldt"

Hi all,

Today in class I reminded you of the importance of checking our class website.  Please remember to check the website daily, as too many of you are forgetting due dates due to band days in between English days.  Let's work on that!

Yesterday, there was some confusion over the homework check day for the vocab words.  I will be doing the new homework check next Wednesday.  You must have all definitions and sentences completed by that day.

Vocab quiz is next Thursday!

Today we read the short story, "The Veldt."  You then got into groups to discuss the following questions and report back to the class:

-Describe the goals and motivations of Peter and Wendy. What will they likely do with David? Why?-What foreshadowing is there of George and Lydia’s fate? Give examples of ways in which they raise their children badly.
-How does Bradbury build atmosphere in the story?
-How are the children portrayed in the story?


No handouts today!

Homework:

1.  Complete vocab definitions and sentences for homework check on Wednesday.
2.  Study for vocab quiz on Thursday.
