If I could not have one I would have the other…I should fight for my liberty as long as my strength lasted.” • Harriet Tubman (African-American nurse, spy, scout and conductor on the Underground Railway) What two things do you think you have a right to?

(I’ll come over and collect it .)

  4. The Lottery by Shirley Jackson • Let’s finish reading the story together as a group!

  5. Literary Devices and Elements Directions: Look in your Reading Logs and make sure you have notes on the following 2 slides. If you do- make sure that your definitions match the following, you need these notes to complete today’s assignment. If you don’t, TAKE NOTES! • Tone: The author’s attitude, stated or implied, toward a subject. • Theme: The main idea or underlying meaning of a literary work. • Plot: The sequence of events, or storyline, in a literary work. • Symbolism: A person, place or object which has a meaning in itself but suggests other meanings as well. • Characters: A character is a person (or animal or natural force presented as a person) in a work of literature.

  6. Literary Devices and Elements: pg. 2 • Conflict: The problem or problems that create tension in the story. • Setting: The time and place in which events of a literary work take place. • Irony: Irony is the contrast between what is expected or what appears to be and what actually is. • Foreshadowing: Hints and clues that tip the reader off as to what is to come later in the literary work.

  7. The Lottery: Discussion Questions • In your group of 3, write at least one discussion questions about The Lottery that address your literary device. • Your questions should NOT be yes/no, one-word questions (literal). They should require inference (reading between the lines and drawing conclusions). • Write these on a sheet of paper to be turned in. I will use these to help write a quiz.
