We finished our discussion of the short story "There Will Come Soft Rains" today. We then watched a video called "There Will Come Soft Rains". Click on the title to watch it again. Creepy seemed to be the overwhelming sentiment. Was that the tone of the poem? Was that the tone of the story? After reading and viewing the three pieces with the same title, we had a brief discussion on the three genres and how the message they shared was altered and delivered. There are some dramatic differences between the three. Were they appropriate? Is it right to make those changes?
Our next reading will be a poem. A writing will come attached with it. We'll read the poem and then have brief table top discussions on it before heading into the writing. It will all be done on the same day...Wednesday. The writing will tie in "There Will Come Soft Rains" (short story). Time to synthesize!
Tomorrow will be a work day. Any chance on duplicating this will be dependent on how well you use your time. Read your book, write up some questions and responses, ask me questions, look at the rubric and the sample IWAP. The time is yours but use it wisely. Here is a link to the rubric for the Interview With A Protagonist paper. The link to the IWAP example will come tomorrow.
And now it is tomorrow! Here is the link to the sample paper.
Read that book!
Here's a link to the writing contest I mentioned in class today. Any takers?
See you soon.
