Unearthing Hidden Meaning with Stories

Hi guys!  Have you read "Lamb to the Slaughter"? If not, make sure to read the story here (take notes of unknown vocabulary words in the margins, underline character names, and : Lamb to the Slaughter

After you have finished the story, open this woordle picture: Wordle Exercise

1) Choose at least five different words from the Wordle picture and rewrite at least five different sentences using a different word in each.  In the sentences, you are to write a line relating to the story you have just read, underlining the word from Wordle.  The sentence can be summing up a part of the story or it can be your reaction to a character, scene, or action. 

2) An example: Using the word 'husband' -  "Mrs. Maloney's husband was not a very good man because he wanted to leave her when she was going to have a baby."

3) After you have written your sentence, get with a partner and share what you have written aloud.  This exercise will be turned in and will be graded up to ten points (two for each sentence) for accuracy and pertinence.  ***You are allowed to try for one extra credit point in writing one extra sentence***
