HW=
1. Complete 3 Questions and Focus Question in hand writing on binder paper due tomorrow Friday 8/26/16.
2.Answer the following questions in a typed one paragraph response that is due on Monday 8/29/16.
What warning does Jackson give readers about the dangers of tradition?
How does she use symbolism to convey this theme?
In your answer, make sure you:
• Clearly articulate Jackson’s warning
• Identify at least one symbol used by the author and explain how it conveys her theme or warning to readers
Sample Student Response:
Claim: In “The Lottery,” Shirley Jackson conveys a warning to readers through her theme by demonstrating that blind adherence to tradition can cause otherwise ordinary and seemingly “good” individuals to commit heinous acts.
Possible Details:
• The lottery happens every year, and no one questions its cruelty or takes a stand to stop it.
• The Black Box symbolizes the townspeople’s adherence to tradition. It is old and decrepit, but they refuse to replace it because the townspeople don’t like to upset tradition.
• The townspeople don’t know why they do the lottery beyond the fact that there used to be a saying that the lottery would bring heavy crops.
• Even as Tessie is being stoned to death, she claims that the drawing itself is unfair; she never questions whether the lottery itself should occur.
3. Read your LC text and work on your task sheet for this week. Be prepared to work with your group tomorrow in class.
(Do this on the same binder paper as your leveled questions)
