In the Door
--Following the morning announcements, I will share my life philosophy about the theme word "power" again (see slide deck) and connect it to another of my life experiences (teaching argumentative writing at the high school).
S. the C.--You should leave class today with...
- a deeper understanding of what a theme statement is, as evidenced by your ability to share one of your life philosophies
- a clearer idea of how "The Lady, or the Tiger?" connects to real life, which might help you "zero in" on a meaningful and complex theme statement as we wrap up our work with the story.
- a refreshed outlook on your own life?
- a rough sense of what Frank R. Stockton is suggesting about one (or several?!) of the emergent themes of the "The Lady, or the Tiger?".
- In other words, you might head home for the weekend with a rough theme statement in mind for the story.
