"The Veldt"

Hi all,

Today in class we started with a homework check of your vocab words in preparation for your vocab quiz tomorrow.

We then continued with our discussion questions about "The Veldt" from last class.

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

We finished class by watching a video version of the story, and I showed you a music video that uses the story as inspiration.

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=erkL_IqlupE
