For the remaining minutes, students can take out their blue analysis sheets for “The Lottery” and fine tune and/or add to their evidence and comments/explanations as to why the evidence is important
Please mention to the students that they will write their analytical essay next week in class.
Have them go to the blog and look at the most recent post, which is a visual organizer of everything the essay must include in the essay and in what order. These instructions are also on the blog.
