This week students will continue working on their summarizing skills as they summarize "The Black Cat" by Edgar Allan Poe. They will also be reading the historical drama, "Lucy Stone: Champion of Women's Rights." Through this drama, students will explore the key idea of change.
Key Question: How can we change what's wrong?
* It's not easy to change what is wrong or unfair. Those people who fought to end slavery, those who helped women get the right to vote, and those who protected children from harmful working conditions were considered troublemakers by many in their day. Yet their victories made the world a better place. In this play, students will learn about one such person.
Objectives:
* Identify form and characteristics of a historical drama
* Understand stage directions
* Visualize
* Build vocabulary for reading and writing
* Punctuate titles correctly
* Use writing to analyze literature
