  2. Collaborative Discussion • Question #1 – Explain why Shirley Jackson waits until the end of the story to reveal the conflict. • Question #2 – Look up the word ritual. The word is used four times in the story to describe the lottery. Why might viewing the lottery as a ritual hold back the villagers from objecting? • Question #3 – At the end of the story, Mrs. Delacroix selects a huge stone and urges Mrs. Dunbar to hurry. Explain why this is surprising or unexpected. • Question #4 – Do you find the narrator’s tone strange or even shocking? Why? What theme about cruelty or injustice does this tone help communicate?

  3. Collaborative Discussion At which point in the text did you realize the purpose of the lottery? • Write your heading on a piece of paper. The subject is “Pivotal Passages”. • Write down the Pivotal Passages you find in the text. • Include an explanation and a visual of each Pivotal Passage. • Save these in your binder in the “Classwork” tab. We will use these next week.
