Direct Instruction
Finish The Mot Dangerous Game - pages - 20-23
Guided Practice
Complete Plot Structure - What is the climax of the story? What is the resolution?
Independent Practice
Open-Minded Portraits
1) Using the blank head we give you, trace the same head onto another piece of blank paper.
2) Choose either Rainsford or Zaroff, and using your character trait Venn Diagram, write as many character traits of that character inside the traced head.
3) Then, place the original head on top of the traits, and draw the outer appearance of your character based on descriptions in the book and other character traits.
4) Once you have drawn, use crayons to color everything in. Also, draw an upper body for your portrait.
5) When you are done coloring, use a piece of tape to tape your appearance over the character traits at the top, so you can flip the face up and down to reveal the traits. (See example provided)
EXIT SLIP:
If you were Rainsford, would you have made the same choice at the end? Why or why not? Has he become savage?
HW - Use the edits we provided plus the transitional worksheet to revise your compare / contrast essays that we returned to you today comparing Rainsford and Zaroff.
