Comp/Lit 10: 1/6/2011

Short Stories - "A Pair of Silk Stockings"

  • Mr. Leal and I quickly checked homework-"The Lady or the Tiger?" notes & plot structure, pages 4-5 
  • We started the period by reviewing the plot structure complete about "The Lady or the Tiger?"  The class was in agreement that the story ends with the climax and there is no falling action or resolution.
  • The students then took notes on elements of the short story-conflict, theme and symbol.
  • Mr. Leal then read "A Pair of Silk Stockings" aloud.
  • At the conclusion of the story, the students were given about 15 minutes to complete the questions on pages 6-7.
  • We then had a  great discussion as we reviewed the questions.
  • I then introduced the writing assignment for the weekend-the students will respond to the question: What would you have done with the money and why?
  • Homework:  Complete the "A Pair of Silk Stockings" questions (pages 6-7), type your well-developed response to the above question (see packet page 7)
**A look into the future:  
  • All grade corrections, make-up work and extra credit must be submitted by Friday January 14.
  • The main homework next week will be to work on the final exam study guide.
  • The final Exam study session will be on Friday January 14.
  • Your final exam is on Tuesday January 18 @ 8-10am
