3. Read "The Most Dangerous Game" by Richard Connell, from pg19. up to pg. 31, halfway down the page.
4. Comic Strip Summary- We will fill out the comic strip as it applies to elements of plot in this short story. In class, we drew in the first 2 boxes, the Exposition & the Inciting Incident for the Rising Action. Your homework will be to complete two more boxes of rising action leading up to the part in the story where General Zaroff gives Rainsford his hunting clothes and supplies before he hunts him. Here is our class sample (forgive my lack of skills!).
5. Dialectical Journals- Dialectical Journals (or DJ's as you'll hear me referring to them) are an opportunity for you to "dialogue" or interact more deeply with the text. You will be providing quotes that are examples of indirect characterization for both Rainsford and Genereal Zaroff and analyzing what the author is saying about them.
- Fold a sheet of paper Cornell notes style
- Title the left column "Quotes" and title the right column "Analysis"
- On the left hand side, you must provide a quote that is an example of indirect characterization. Include the
page number where you found the quote.
- On the right hand side, tell me what it is you're analyzing (in this case, it's INDIRECT CHARACTERIZATION) and
what letter of S.T.E.A.L. applies to the quote. For example, if a character's actions are what's revealing
something about them, then you would write ACTIONS. Then, tell me what that quote reveals about the
character and how you know that.
