Goals: To expand our vocabularies by learning new words. To practice using context clues. To practice using close reading strategies. To look at author's techniques and analyze the effect of these techniques.
Agenda:
1) Complete vocabulary activity before reading the story
"Three Skeleton Key" vocabulary sheet
2) RATS video clip
3) Listen to the story (I love the narrator's creepy voice). Mrs. Karney will be pausing to ask questions, clarify what is happening, ask questions, etc.
You can read it here
Text of "Three Skeleton Key"
We will focus on these terms/techniques:
suspense (How does author create it?)
imagery
allusion
foreshadowing-Jaws clip
irony
You can find a helpful handout of words to know here:
