  1. The Ultimate Sacrifice 1. Students will compare and contrast theme in “The Lottery” by Shirley Jackson with “The Ultimate Sacrifice” by Ann Gibbons. (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.RI.9-10.1, E1-1.1, E1-2.2) 2. Students will create fake propaganda to argue both pro- and con- of the lottery ritual in “The Lottery.” (CCSS.ELA-Literacy.W.9-10.6, E1.5.4)

  2. Itinerary and Purpose Quiz Journal Analyze theme in The Lottery Read article about human sacrifice Work in partners to create Propaganda on laptops People are creatures of habit and when they go about their day with an air of ignorance this leads them to be easily persuaded. But with a fresh and critical eye, students will be able to develop an awareness that can only benefit them. The thought provoking question of the day is: If it was tradition for everyone to go jumping off a cliff, would you do it too?

  3. Journal • Think of a tradition or trend that you uphold either daily or annually (once a year). What is it? What do you do for this tradition? Do you know why you do it? Do you know the origins? Do you think our society will ever stop continuing this tradition? Explain. • (Examples: Groundhog Day, Trick-or-Treating, Tailgating)

  4. Discuss questions on hand out with partner. • Come back together and chat. • Don’t forget about participation points!

  5. The Ultimate Sacrifice • Read article. • Circle or highlight any information that intrigues you or you didn’t know before that could parallel The Lottery. • Groups of four (I’ll assign them!) • Share what interested you together, choose two facts that remind you of The Lottery. • We will be sharing!

  6. Propaganda! “The original paraphernalia for the lottery had been lost long ago, and the black box now resting on the stool had been put into use even before Old Man Warner, the oldest man in town, was born.” Imagine you are on an archaeological dig at the site of the village in “The Lottery.” You stumble upon some of this original paraphernalia along with some instances of propaganda that once supported as well as challenged the tradition of the Lottery. • Using the websites below to aid you and your partner will pick one of the following projects and create a piece of propaganda that supports the continuation of the tradition of the lottery and one piece that rebels against the lottery. • -Countdown posters, bumper stickers, mugs, yard signs, buttons, coffee mugs, anything else you can think of that people put advertisements on (not including • social media) • -Websites students may use: • -https://jux.com/ • -http://www.piclits.com/compose_dragdrop.aspx • -Or students may design own creation on a PowerPoint. • -Further your practice: If you finish early, try createing one propaganda piece surrounding Maycomb’s conception of Boo Radley for one extra participation point. • DON’T FORGET: Email to Ms. Fox’s email address before you leave with you AND your partner’s name for participation points!!
