Vocab: Review of Theme and The Elements of Freytag's Pyramid (Exposition, Rising Action, Climax, Falling Action, Denouement)
Circle: If someone close to you was going off to war, what is one thing you would want them to know before they went? (It can be personal or big picture; warning or advice).
Before: Read through the first page of "On the Rainy River" in The Things They Carried. Pick out a sentence or phrase that might be setting up the theme of the story.
During: Read through together, trying to identify the content or text features that lead us to believe we have discovered one of the Elements of Freytag's pyramid.
After: On the second read-through, what is the theme of this story? What are the parts of the story that lead us to believe that? How would we organize the story according to Freytag's?
If Time: Geo practice!
