Today as a class we looked at the first part of "Lamb to the Slaughter". I had students stop at different parts of the text to think about characterization, predictions, etc., and we had a spirited discussion with excellent inferences students were making. I was trying to explain to them that a lot of what there were saying in discussions would make wonderful/well developed journal entries (whereas some of them have written brief journals in the past). There is no journal due for this story, but in the future we will dive back into that.
For next week, students are to finish reading AND ANNOTATING "Lamb to the Slaughter" and answer all of the questions that follow the story. They are welcome to do this on another piece of paper if needed.
In short: at the start of next week I will be checking annotations and questions. Not having either will be unacceptable and result in a zero for that assignment.
