Story Analysis (pg. 158-176). Get into groups of 2-3. Together read the short story on pages 158-176. As you read, answer the questions and examine the text to analyze Bradbury's use of suspense in this story. When you have completed the story, please turn in your notes for participation credit.
When your group has completed their analysis (and you've turned in your work), please go next door to complete the writing task below:
LAB: Write a short (200-300 word) scene that involves a specific character involved in a specific conflict. Keep your scene tight--in other words just focus on the now of the character in the conflict. For now, just write that scene...you will be adding to this scene in future classes. To get you started, use one of the hooks in the writing practice. You may also use the material from your journal as to character, situation, and setting.
After creating a scene of 200-300 words, skip a line (use white space) and move your story forward in time (an hour, a day, a year, or several years). Build suspense. Use the worksheet to plan your story.
HOMEWORK: None. There is a test on the Dandelion Wine.
