BJECTIVE: By the end of class, students will review main themes and plot points of The Lady Or The Tiger, identify key elements of fiction to include in a summary, draft summaries of short fiction, and begin to conceptualize an ending to an ambiguous story.

DO NOW: Do we live in a just society? Why or why not? What kind of society should we live in?
