This week we will continue our Short Story Unit with two more stories. Susan Glaspell's 1917 story "A Jury of Her Peers" is a bit of a murder mystery. Dorothy Parker's 1944 story "The Waltz" is a creative monologue done by a woman at a party. The stories were not chosen randomly. As we read, students should be looking for connections among the stories through characterization and theme. In addition to a standard set of study guide questions, students will have other creative assignments to help them interact with and engage the stories.
- Mon: Short Story Unit: Begin reading and discussing "A Jury of Her Peers." Start the double-entry notes.
- Tues: Short Story Unit: "A Jury of Her Peers." Finish, discuss, and hand in the double-entry notes.
- Wed: Short Story Unit: "A Jury of Her Peers" - study guide due by the end of the hour.
- Thurs: Short Story Unit: Read and discuss "The Waltz." Complete the guided reading questions for Friday.
- Fri: Short Story Unit: "The Waltz" - begin the creative writing response, due Tuesday, 3/25.
