Tuesday

Objective: By  the end of class, students will practice differences between summarize, analyze and evaluate and practice literary elements in journal writing format.

DO NOW

WRITE THE DEFINITIONS OF THE FOLLOWING LITERARY TERMS IN NOTEBOOKS

INFERENCE = Educated Guess

Write that in notebooks - in Lamb to the Slaughter, we must INFER what Patrick is going to tell Mary because he doesn't say it directly. 

AMBIGUOUS - open to different interpretations - the story doesn't clearly say what happened so the reader must figure out with the amount of information they have.

 INDEPENDENT

The difference between ANALYZE & EVALUATE


Analyze how the author, Dahl, uses dramatic irony in LTS and what is the effect on the reader?   (use a quote, be specific and DO NOT tell me what you THINK)

Dahl uses dramatic irony in LTS in order to create suspense in the story. When the reader knows that Mary killed her husband, but the police do not, a certain anticipation is created. When the police question her about staying in for dinner, Mary "..told how she put the meat in  the oven - 'it's in there now cooking.' "  This is dramatic irony because we know the meat is the murder weapon and she is trying to get rid of it. The suspense is created because we don't know if the police will figure this out.

Evaluate why Dahl uses irony in LTS? What do you think his purpose was in using irony?What kind of effect do you think he was hoping to have on the reader? (be specific, use a quote, just like analyzing and in the end, tell me what you THINK AND WHY YOU THINK THAT)

Same as above and then add....
  I think this is very effective because it makes the story more interesting and keeps the reader on the edge of his/her seat. When the author uses dramatic irony, the reader hopes the characters will figure out what he/she already knows. It adds excitement and anticipation because we don't know what the characters are going to do but we know what they SHOULD do.
